Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Match the definitions to the labeled parts of the wave.

6: Wavelength - This is the distance from a point on one wave to the corresponding point on the next wave (e.g., crest to crest or trough to trough). The line with arrows labeled 3 in the image represents the wavelength.
1: Trough - This is the lowest point on a wave. The lowest point on the first wave is labeled 1.
8: Crest - This is the highest point on a wave. While not labeled, the highest point on each curve represents the crest.
9: Amplitude - This is the distance a wave rises or falls from its rest position (equilibrium). The double-headed arrow labeled 2 in the image demonstrates the amplitude.
10: Equilibrium - This describes when the wave is at its rest position. The horizontal lines cutting through the middle of each wave represent the equilibrium.
