When the particles of the medium are displaced parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave, it is called a ___________.a.Water waveb. Ultrasonic wavec. Transverse waved.Longitudinal wave
•Which of the following is the definition of amplitude• The maximum displacement from the rest position.• The total distance traveled by the wave in one full
cycle.• The energy reflected by a fixed medium.• The lowest frequency that produces a standing
wave.
What is a transverse wave?a. The rate with which the amplitude of the wave
pulsates.b. The disturbance of the particles is in the same
direction as the movement of the wave.c. A wave of alternating lower and higher pressure.d. The particles of the medium that are displaced
perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
