Wave Properties Sim P1

Multiple Choice

Based on your measurements in the simulation, what is the best definition of the amplitude of a wave? (Remember that the amplitude is 0.75 cm.)

• The distance from the beginning of the wave to the end of the wave.

• The distance from the bottom of the wave to the top of the wave.

• The distance from the midline of the wave to the top or bottom of the wave.

• The distance between the top of two waves that are next to each other.
