Answer» its there in the textbook still here u go it copied from textbook think its fineExplanation:The amplitude of a wave refers to the MAXIMUM amount of displacement of a particle on the MEDIUM from its rest position. ... And the length of one such spatial repetition (known as a wave cycle) is the wavelength. The wavelength can be measured as the DISTANCE from crest to crest or from trough to trough.Frequency DESCRIBES the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of timeWavelength can be DEFINED as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave. It is measured in the direction of the wave.Image result for wave velocity definition Wave velocity in common usage refers to speed, although, properly, velocity implies both speed and direction. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensitymark best if it helps |
