Answer:
First statement: The particles which are displaced is parallel to the direction of energy transport or to the direction the wave travels.
Second statement: amplitude is measured by determining how far the molecules of the medium have been displaced from their normal rest position.
Third statement: wavelength is measured through determining the distance between one point on the wave and the corresponding point on the next one.
Explanation:
Wave can be defined as a displacement that occurs in a medium, from one point to another. There are two different kinds of waves in physics which includes:
- Longitudinal wave and
- Transverse wave.
In a longitudinal wave, particles are displaced parallel to the direction of energy transport or to the direction the wave travels. There are also different properties which can be used to describe a longitudinal wave and they includes:
- amplitude: amplitude is measured by determining how far the molecules of the medium have been displaced from their normal rest position in a longitudinal wave.
- wavelength is measured through determining the distance between one point on the wave and the corresponding point on the next one.
