Question

In a transverse wave wavelength can be measured as the distance between a. Two adjacent crests. b. A crest and the adjacent trough. c. A crest and the resting position. d.None of the above

Answer 1

a)Two adjacent crests

Step-by-step explanation:

Transverse wave is a moving wave that

in which the point of oscillation is at right angle to the direction of the wave. The particle of the medium of transverse wave usually vibrate at right angle to the wave's direction in up and down movement. Wavelength can be measured in the direction the wave is going can defined as the distance between two successive crest of the particular wave. It can be calculated as Wavelength= velocity/ frequency. Which means where there is higher frequency of the wave, then there will be shorter wavelength.

Hence, transverse wave wavelength can be measured as the distance between Two adjacent crests.
