Question

wave properties review
directions: sort the following as a characteristic of wavelength, frequency or amplitude.
the distance from equilibrium to a crest or trough
wavelength frequency amplitude

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of wave properties:

• Wavelength: Distance between two consecutive crests/troughs.
• Frequency: Number of waves per unit time.
• Amplitude: Distance from the equilibrium position to a crest (or trough).

The given description ("distance from equilibrium to a crest or trough") matches the definition of amplitude.

Answer:

Amplitude
