Question

The picture shows a wave generated in a laboratory. What is the amplitude of the wave shown ?

• A. 0.85 cm
• B. 1.7 cm
• C. 2.7 cm
• D. There is not enough information to determine the answer.

Answer 1

The correct option is D There is not enough information to determine the answer.

Here the vertical scale is not given so we can not calculate the amplitude from the given information. We will need another scale along y-axis to calculate amplitude.
