Question

The distance between 2 corresponding (similar) parts of a wave (example- crest to crest) is its _______________. *

-trough
-frequency
-amplitude
-wavelength

Answer 1

Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

A wave can be defined in terms of its frequency, wavelength, amplitude etc.

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave, for example from crest to crest or trough to trough is called its wavelength.

It is represented by
`\lambda`.

The relation between frequency, speed of a wave and its wavelength is given by :

`v=f\lambda`

So, the correct option is (4) "wavelength".
