MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What kind of wave is pictured?
transverse
longitudinal
Answer explanation
The wave depicted is transverse because the oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, unlike longitudinal waves where oscillations are parallel. This characteristic confirms it as a transverse wave.

What is letter B pointing to?
(a)
Answer explanation
Letter B is pointing to the crest, which is the correct answer. The crest typically refers to the top or highest point of something, making it the appropriate choice in this context.

What is amplitude a measure of?
(a)
Answer explanation
Amplitude measures the maximum extent of a wave's oscillation, which is directly related to the energy carried by the wave. Therefore, the correct answer is 'energy'.

How would you measure the amplitude of this kind of wave?
(a)
Answer explanation
To measure the amplitude of a wave, you determine the height from the resting point (equilibrium) to the crest (highest point). This measurement reflects the wave's maximum displacement from its rest position.
