Want this question answered?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
Longitudinal Wave
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
amplitude.
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
First derivative of displacement with respect to time = velocity. Second derivative of displacement with respect to time = acceleration. Third derivative of displacement with respect to time = jerk.
Longitudinal Wave
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
The correct term from the maximum displacement from the rest position in a wave is the Amplitude (A).
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
amplitude.
Node
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement
The one-sided displacement perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
