What is the still water level?
The horizontal surface that appears between the trough and the crest of a wave is known as the still water level. This level is also referred to as the zero energy level.
What is De broglie's theory?
To describe the de Broglie wave equation, we need to back up just a bit and look at something regarding fundamental particles. One of the curiosities of physics is the idea of wave-particle duality. When we inspect a fundamental particle, like the electron for example, we find that it can be looked at either as a particle or as a wave. A particle has mass, and it has both momentum and some amount of energy associated with it. Both momentum and energy are associated with matter. A wave, on the other hand, has both wavelength and frequency characteristic of that wave. Frequency and wavelength are associated with a wave. In wave-particle duality, the particle has to have a way its mass can be equated with the wave. And de Broglie stepped in to supply the equations that specify the relationship between the momentum and energy of a particle, and the frequency and wavelength of it's equivalent wave. Use the link below to check out the formula and learn more. These two equations are simple and easy, and it would be wise to look them over.
What correct method to test the odor of an unknown chemical?
If you are trying to get a sense of the smell you would open the lid and hold it away from your face, then sniff the air

Who is DeBroglie?
Louis de Broglie was a French physicist and Nobel Prize Winner best known for wave-particle duality. He laid out the converse idea of Einstein's that a wave is a particle. According to de Broglie, a particle is a wave. He was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for physics.
Where on a wave diagram is the wavelength?
On a wave pattern, the measurement of distance between two corresponding wave peaks, troughs or crests will give the wavelength.
What defines a wavelength of a wave?
the distance between peaks of a wave
How can the wave length of a wave be found?
By measuring the distance between the wave peaks!!
The distance between two successive points of a wave?
wavelength
What is the distance from a wavelength?
It is the distance between two peaks or two troughs in a wave.
The distance between successive crests or troughs determines wave?
Wave length.
What does the wavelength of the wave measure?
The distance between two adjacent wave peaks (or troughs).
How is the frequency of a wave measured?
Measure the time between successive peaks, and take the reciprocal of this to get cycles per second.
What is The distance between two successive points of a wave that are in phase is?
"the wavelength"
What is the distance between two successive compressions called?
wavelength or wave
If a wave has a frequency of 5.0 waves per second and the distance between the peaks of the wave is 20 cm. What is the speed of the wave?
wave velocity = frequency in Hz x wavelength in meterSo frequency = 5 Hz and wavelength = distance between successive peaks = 20 cm = 20/100 mHence wave velocity = 5 * 20/100 = 1 m/s
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called what?
Is call the wave length.
