What would an example of amplitude be?

For electricity, a wave (in a wire) usually is expressed as volts. For radio waves, often the strength of B and E fields, or sometimes power (in watts). For an ocean wave, it could be measured in feet.


What is the biggest wave in the ocean?

A rogue wave. One once measured up to 1740 feet.


What is the frequency of a wave measured by?

The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.


How is a wave measured?

by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)


Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?

Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.


Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?

The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.

What is frequency of wave measured in?

It is measured in Hertz (Hz).


How do you think a wave's speed is measured?

Amplitude of the wave.


Muscular strength and endurance is measured by?

Muscular strength and endurance is measured by how much a person can do physically. Endurance can be measured by exercise such as running.


When a wave passes through the ocean it does what?

When a wave passes through the ocean it may make a wave.


How many volts are found in infrared waves?

Basically, EM waves are not measured in volts. The intensity of the electric (and the magnetic) field would depend on the strength of the wave.
