How do you determine the amplitude of a transverse wave?
A. measure the distance between successive crests
B. measure the distance between crest and trough
C. multiply the wavelength by the frequency
D. measure from the rest position to a crest or a trough
In a transverse wave, amplitude is the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.
