The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself.
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
![y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%28x%2Ct%29%3D%20%280.750cm%29cos%28%5Cpi%20%5B%280.400cm-1%29x%2B%28250s-1%29t%5D%29)
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,

and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
Explanation:
For most temperature scales, the boiling point of water and the freezing point is used to calibrate it.
Three known temperature scales;
- Kelvin scale
- Celcius scale
- Fahrenheit scale
Kelvin scale Celcius scale Fahrenheit scale
Freezing point 273K 0°C 32°F
Melting point 373K 100°C 212°F
Since they are both examples of moving waves, they both transmit energy.
Answer:
The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
Explanation:
Given that,
Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms
Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts
These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms
Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
