Question

Amanda studies a waveform. She labels parts of the waveform using variables (P,Q,R, and S), as shown in the image.

Which label part represents the wavelength

Answer 1

Q

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which symbol defines the wavelength, we must know the definition of wavelength.

Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests (i.e the highest part) or troughs (the lowest part) of a wave.

Considering the diagram given above, Q shows the distance between two successive crests (i.e the highest part) of the wave. Therefore, Q is the wavelength of the wave given in the diagram above.
