The distance between two consecutive crests is 2.5 meters. Which characteristic of the wave does this distance represent?
amplitude
frequency
period
wavelength
phase

Respuesta :

Frequency is measured in units of reciprocal time.
Period is measured in units of time.
Phase is a number without units that represents a fraction of a wave.

None of these is measured in meters, so none of them can be the answer.
It must be either amplitude or wavelength.

Amplitude is a quantity that's measured at one or two points in the same wave.
The question is talking about points on consecutive waves.

Wavelength is the only choice left.  I know that`s correct.

Answer:

wavelength is the correct answer
