What the wave height called in physics?

The wave height in physics is referred to as the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. Amplitude is a fundamental characteristic used to describe various types of waves, including electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves.


What name is given to the reflected sound waves?

Echo. Target echo if it's from the target of interest to the bat, in a hunting situation. Clutter echo if it is from the rest of the background.


What is the distance from the rest position to a waves crest?

The distance from the rest position to a wave's crest is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position as the wave passes. The greater the amplitude, the higher the wave crest will appear above the rest position.


Do all waves have wavelength frequency rest points and speed true or false?

False. While many waves have a wavelength, frequency, rest position, and speed, not all waves exhibit all of these properties. For example, electromagnetic waves like light do not have a rest position since they can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves, on the other hand, do not have a specific speed as it can vary depending on the medium through which they travel.


What type of waves have amplitude?

Mechanical waves such as sound waves and ocean waves have amplitude. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. It determines the intensity or loudness of the wave.

What is nature of sounds?

a vibrating body moves to and fro around its rest position and produces compressional waves in the surrounding medium. these compressional waves are called the sound waves which trevles from one place to another.

Electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?

False. Electrical current flows from a high pressure state (called hot) to a state of rest (called ground or neutral).

Do all cells have a central zone?

Yes, it is called the nucleus. It sends messages to the rest of the cell telling it what to do. (I learnt this today in science! Haha)
