this model shows the transverse wave maya creates in one battle rope. maya is 5 feet, 5 inches tall. which is the best estimate of the waves wavelength? 1 foot 5 feet 15 feet 50 feet which is the best estimate of the waves amplitude? 1 foot 5 feet 15 feet 50 feet

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wave - length definition

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. By comparing the length of the wave to Maya's height (5 feet 5 inches), we can estimate. The wave - length seems to be about the same as Maya's height. So the best estimate of the wavelength is 5 feet.

Step2: Recall amplitude definition

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. Looking at the wave, the maximum displacement from the middle (equilibrium) of the wave to its crest or trough is much less than Maya's height. It is closer to 1 foot.

Answer:

Wavelength: 5 feet Amplitude: 1 foot
