Question

Represent a wave graphically. Show in the diagram the wavelength and amplitude

Answer 1

Hint: We must know the key terms for the features of waves that are introduced and its properties and uses of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Complete step by step answer:
Wave: A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location.
Example: Stone thrown into the water.

Wavelength: The wavelength of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next Wave. It is often easiest to measure through the crest (top) of one wave to the crest of the next wave or the through (bottom) of one wave to the trough of the next wave. It doesn’t matter where you measure it, as long as it is the same point on each wave (look for where the pattern repeats)

Amplitude:As wave travel, they set up patterns of disturbance. The amplitude of a wave is its maximum disturbance from rest.

Note:In case of wavelength, you should also be able to count the number of waves in a diagram. You can also see how many waves repeated. In case of amplitude, it is important to note that the amplitude is not the distance between the top and bottom of the wave but is always measured from the rest position.
