Isaac and Joe worked together to draw a model of a transverse wave. Issac used the model to measure the distance between two crests. Joe said, "Good job measuring the wave's amplitude!"
Why might Isaac have been confused by Joe's statement?
A.
Isaac measured the wavelength of the wave instead of the amplitude.
B.
Isaac measured the frequency of the wave instead of the amplitude.
C.
A transverse wave does not have an amplitude.
D.**
A transverse wave has an amplitude, but it is measured by finding the distance between two troughs rather than two crests.
1 answer
Distance between two crests is the wavelength.
