Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the greatest distance that a wave moves from its rest position.
A
frequency
B
speed
C
amplitude
D
wavelength
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wave amplitude is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their resting positions when a wave passes through. The amplitude is the height of the wave.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amplitude-distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave. Frequency-number of waves passing by a specific point per second. Period-time it takes for one wave cycle to complete.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The maximum displacement of a particle on a wave from its state of rest is called the amplitude of the wave. The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is called the wavelength of the wave. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a given point in 1 second.
