Question
As the amplitude of a periodic wave increases, its wavelength(A) decreases(B) increases(C) remains the same
Step 1
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum distance from the equilibrium position (the mid-point of the wave) to the peak or trough of the wave. The wavelength, on the other hand, is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase (e.g., the Show more…
