Homework Statement
A wave is shown below. The dots represent the particles of the wave at a time t = 0 s, and the vertical lines represent the positions of the particles before the wave arrives. Find the amplitude and wavelength of the wave
Homework Equations
Not sure
The Attempt at a Solution
1. The vertical line is wavefront??
2. To find wavelength, I tried to find the distance between the center of adjacent compression (although I am not sure which one). Is the answer 24 m?
3. To find amplitude, I tried to find the distance between the end of first compression and the start of next compression. Is this method correct? I am also not sure which one is the distance. Is the answer 12 m?
Thanks
