Solution

The correct option is C 05 cm, 1609 cm
Amplitude(A) is the maximum displacement of wave particle in either direction.

Amplitude, A = 0.5 cm

Wavelength (λ) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or throughs.




From the figure:

OA=λ,AB=λ and BC=λ4OC=OA+AB+BC=λ+λ+λ4=(400)cm9λ4=40 cmλ=1609 cm

Thus, the amplitude and the wavelength of the wave are 0.5 cm and 1609 cm respectively.


Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
