Question

For a transverse wave, the distance between
two successive crests is 2 m. If 4 troughs cross
a given point along the direction of travel in
20 s, the distance between a crest and trough is
(A) 0.2 m
(B) 1m
(c 8 m
(D)) 10m​

Answer 1

Answer:

The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs on a transverse wave. It is also equal to the distance between any two points where the particles are passing through their respective mean positions in the same direction.
