What kind of wave is pictured?
transverse
longitudinal
Answer explanation
The wave depicted is transverse because the oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, unlike longitudinal waves where oscillations are parallel. This characteristic confirms it as a transverse wave.

How would you measure the amplitude of this kind of wave?
Answer explanation
To measure the amplitude of a wave, you determine the height from the resting point (equilibrium) to the crest (highest point). This measurement reflects the wave's maximum displacement from its rest position.
