Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position is called what? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what a wave is. A wave is a disturbance that travels through space and matter.
  • Step 2: Identify the rest position of a wave. The rest position is the level where the wave would be if there were no disturbance.
  • Step 3: Learn about displacement. Displacement is how far the wave moves from the rest position.
  • Step 4: Find out what maximum displacement means. Maximum displacement is the highest point the wave reaches from the rest position.
  • Step 5: Know the term for maximum displacement. The maximum displacement from the rest position is called the amplitude of the wave.
