Question

wave properties review directions: sort the following as a characteristic of wavelength, frequency or amplitude. image of a wave graph the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. wavelength frequency amplitude

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Wave Property Definitions

• Wavelength: Distance between two consecutive similar points (e.g., crests) on a wave.
• Frequency: Number of waves passing a point per unit time.
• Amplitude: Maximum displacement of a wave from its rest (equilibrium) position.

Step2: Match the Description to the Property

The given description is "The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position", which matches the definition of amplitude.

Answer:

Amplitude (the button labeled "Amplitude")
