The distance between the crest of a wave to the rest position of the medium?
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
What is the maximum distance the particles of a medium carrying the wave move away from their resting position?
A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
The distance between the crest of a wave to the rest position of the medium?
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave
Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?
Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.
What are the parts of the wave?
The trough or the valley between two waves is the lowest part of a wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
What are three basic components of all signals?
•Amplitude-Height (loudness) of the wave-Measured in decibels (dB)•Frequency:-Number of waves that pass in a second-Measured in Hertz (cycles/second)-Wavelength, the length of the wave from crest to crest, is related to frequency•Phase:-Refers to the point in each wave cycle at which the wave begins (measured in degrees)-(For example, changing a wave's cycle from crest to trough corresponds to a 180 degree phase shift).
What the amplitude in a water wave is?
The height of the wave measured from the place of zero disturbance - in other words, half the vertical distance between crest and trough.
How is amplitude of a longitududinal wave measured?
The distance from the top of the crest of the wave to the central point of the wave (the line that cuts through it). In other words, the furthest it travels from the middle.
What is the maximum distance the particles of a medium carrying the wave move away from their resting position?
A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
