What is the height of a wave called it start with an a?
amplitude
How do you find the amplitude of a wave?
Measure the height of its peaks
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
Maximum displacement of a wave is measured by?
by hertz and amplitude
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.
In a transverse wave amplitude is the difference in height between the crest and .?
Between crest and trought.
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
When you the height of a wave from the center line to a crest or trought is the waves?
amplitude
Is amplitude the number of motions that occur in a given time?
The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave crest or the depth of a wave trough from the rest position.
The height of a wave above the median line?
The distance between the line of origin and the crest/trough of a wave is called the amplitude of the wave.
This is the height of the wave above its rest position?
It is called the crest, as the bottom is called a troth.
Is the amplitude of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave?
No, the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave is the wavelength, not the amplitude. Amplitude is the height of the wave.
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
Are the crests always the same height in a wave?
No. The height of the crests is the wave amplitude, which is an indicator of the energy carried by the wave. Increasing the energy increases the amplitude; conversely, decreasing amplitude indicates a loss of energy.
