Question

Looking at the waves on an ocean beach, a girl notices that the waves reach the shore at the same time apart. She also notices that the distance between waves looks the same. In science, what do we call the distance between waves? A) amplitude B) frequency C) period D) wavelength

Answer 1

Answer: THE ANSWER IS D)WAVELENGTH

Explanation:

Answer 2

D) Wavelength

Explanation:

The correct answer is wavelength. Wavelength is defined as the distance between two identical points on the waves.

Amplitude is the maximum/minimum height reached by the wave. Frequency is defined as the number of waves passing through a point in 1 sec. Period or Time period is the reciprocal of Frequency and it represents time taken for the wave to complete its one cycle.

Therefore, from the given options, Wavelength is the best possible answer.
