Question

When you look at a transverse wave, the distance from the baseline to the crest of the wave is called the wave's

Answer 1

Amplitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Amplitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Amplitude is the vertical distance between the baseline to the crest or the horizontal diatance between crest and trough of a wave. Trough is the lowest point of the wave hence called the baseline while crest is the highest point of a wave. The horizontal distance between two successive waves is however called the wavelength and the product of wavelength and frequency gives the velocity of the waves. Note that amplitude has no effect on the velocity of the waves.
