Question

The amplitude of a wave is dependent upon what?

A. the amount of energy carried by the wave
B. the maximum displacement from the rest position
C. neither A nor B
D. both A and B

Answer 1

Amplitude of a wave : The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Therefore , Amplitude of a wave is dependent upon both amount of energy carried by wave and maximum displacement .

Option D) both A and B
