The height of a wave from the equilibrium is 1 meter. Which parameter of the wave does this distance represent

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A wave can be defined by using several characteristics:

- The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position

- The wavelength of a wave corresponds to the distance between two adjacent points of the wave with same shape (e.g. the distance between two consecutive crests)

- The period of a wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the wave to occur

- The frequency of a wave corresponds to the number of complete oscillations of the wave in one second

In this problem, we are told that the height of the wave from equilibrium is 1 meter: based on the definitions above, we can say that this parameter corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
Answer 2
Answer: The maximum height that a wave reaches above or below
its equilibrium level is the "amplitude" of the wave.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Because neap and spring tides happen twice a month during new moon and full moon .It occurs twice in a month which is 14 days

Answer:

12 meters

Explanation:

to find this we look at the 8 on the horizontal line this is 8 seconds, you then look upwards to see the height at that point in time

Capillarity "Capillarity causes the part of the surface of a liquid in contact with a solid, to be either elevated above (e.g. water), or depressed below (e.g. mercury), the rest of the surface. This trait is named for the behaviour of liquids in capillary tubes placed perpendicular to the surface. The forces operating within capillarity are cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension."

Suppose two waves collide, and the temporary combined wave that results is smaller than the original waves. What term best describes this interaction?
-diffraction
-destructive interfernce
-standing wave formation
-constructive interfernce

The formation of a standing wave requires
