Question

which refers to the distance between two crests or two troughs on a transverse wave?
wavelength
amplitude
frequency
hertz

Explanation:

• Wavelength: In a transverse wave, the distance between two consecutive crests (the highest points) or two consecutive troughs (the lowest points) is defined as the wavelength.
• Amplitude: It refers to the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position in a wave, not the distance between crests or troughs.
• Frequency: This is the number of complete waves passing a given point per unit time.
• Hertz: It is the unit of frequency, not a physical quantity related to the distance between wave features.

Answer:

wavelength
