16. a student produces a wave in a flexible spring stretched along a tabletop by shaking one end of the spring at a frequency of 2.0 hertz. what is the amplitude of the wave produced in the spring as shown in the diagram?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall amplitude definition
Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Step2: Analyze the diagram
From the diagram, the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position is 0.25 m.
Answer:
0.25 m
