Wavelength - the distance from one wave crest or trough to another wave crest or trough. Amplitude - the distance from the median point or "middle" of the wave straight up to a crest (a maximum) or straight down to a trough (or minimum), which is the peak amplitude; or the distance from a trough straight up to a crest, or a crest straight down to a trough, called peak-to-peak amplitude.
Answer:
Momentum is define as the product of the mass and velocity of a body. It is measured in Kgm/s.
Explanation:
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object. When an object or a body of mass 'm' is moving with velocity 'v', then its momentum can be determined as;
momentum (P) = mass × velocity
i.e P = m × v
= mv
It is measured in Kgm/s.
The change in momentum of a body is referred to as its impulse (Ft).
ΔP = m(v - u) = Ft
Where: P is the momentum of the object, m is its mass, v is its final velocity, u is the initial velocity, F is the force and t is the time in which the force acts.

Answer:
Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.
Explanation:
They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.
When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
