Wave Properties and Reflection Quiz

What is the definition of amplitude in wave properties?

• The distance between two consecutive crests
• The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position
• The time taken for one complete oscillation
• The number of oscillations per second

If a wave has a wavelength of 3 meters, what does this represent?

• The distance from crest to crest
• The maximum height of the wave
