Question

the diagram shows a transverse wave. a vertical arrow is drawn from the rest position (midline) to the crest (letter b). what does this arrow represent?
wavelength
frequency
amplitude
speed

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In wave - related concepts, the amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position. Here, the vertical arrow from the mid - line (rest position) to the crest represents the maximum displacement, which is the amplitude. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs, frequency is the number of waves passing a point per unit time, and speed is related to the product of wavelength and frequency.

Answer:

Amplitude
