## anonymous one year ago he distance between two consecutive crests is 2.5 meters. Which characteristic of the wave does this distance represent? amplitude frequency period wavelength phase

who can help me out?

|dw:1435379645710:dw| the $\lambda$ is the wavelength

See if you can figure it out with the given information, good luck!

If that image isn't so clear try this |dw:1435385602533:dw|

Yep The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is called wavelength. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particle from its mean position.

what do you think? we have explained :)

Amplitude

???

Guessing will not help and rvc has already told you the answers, look at the explanations and drawings again.

hint: by definition, the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave, or most general, of an alternative function, is called the wave length of that wave or of that alternative function

yes :)
