To determine the order of waves by amplitude, we need to analyze the diagram you are referring to. Unfortunately, since I cannot see images or diagrams, I cannot provide you with the specific order based on that visual information.
However, I can explain how to identify the amplitude of each wave if you describe the key features of the diagram. The amplitude of a wave is typically measured as the maximum distance the wave reaches from its equilibrium (rest) position.
-
Identify Peaks and Troughs: Look for the highest peaks and the lowest troughs of each wave. The amplitude is the height from the equilibrium line to the peak of the wave (or from the equilibrium line to the trough, both provide the same amplitude).
-
Compare Amplitudes: Once you identify the peaks for each wave (W, X, Y, and Z), compare their heights. The wave with the highest peak (or lowest trough) has the largest amplitude.
If you can provide details about the heights or positions of the waves, I can help you order them accordingly.
