Question

Do Transverse waves have Amplitude ?

Answer 1

Explanation

1. When the displacement of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave then the wave is called a transverse wave.
2. Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
3. The amplitude of a transverse wave is the difference in the height between the crest or trough and the mean position.
4. The higher the crest, the greater the amplitude of the wave.

Therefore, the Transverse waves do have amplitude.
