Question
wavelength (noun)
wave length \\w\\v- ler\\j(x)\th
the distance between between two consecutive high or low points
of a wave
*the only difference between radio and visible light is their
wavelength.*
read the definition and the quote. use your knowledge of word
relationships to complete the analogy:
wavelength is to amplitude as is to
height.
force speed volume distance mass
To solve the analogy, we analyze the relationships: Wavelength is a wave - related measurement (distance between wave points), and amplitude is related to the height of a wave. We need to find a term that has a similar relationship to "height" as "wavelength" has to "amplitude".
Looking at the options, "distance" has a relationship with "height" that is analogous to the relationship between "wavelength" (a type of distance for waves) and "amplitude" (a type of height for waves). Wavelength is a specific kind of distance (for waves), and amplitude is a specific kind of height (for waves). So the term that fits in the blank should be "distance" as it has a similar categorical relationship to "height" as "wavelength" has to "amplitude".
