Question
- the amplitude of a transverse wave is the largest displacement of a part of the medium. in other words, amplitude is the distance between the equilibrium position and a crest, or between the equilibrium position and a trough.• the wavelength of a transverse wave is the length of one complete wave cycle. in other words, the wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, or from trough to trough.this model shows the transverse wave in a battle rope. label the model.crest equilibrium position wavelengthtrough amplitude
Brief Explanations
- Crest: The highest point of the wave.
- Equilibrium position: The central, undisturbed position of the rope (the dotted line).
- Wavelength: The distance from one crest to the next (or trough to trough).
- Trough: The lowest point of the wave.
- Amplitude: The distance from the equilibrium position to a crest (or trough).

Label the highest point as "crest", the central dotted line as "equilibrium position", the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) as "wavelength", the lowest point as "trough", and the distance from the equilibrium to a crest (or trough) as "amplitude".
