How is the amplitude of a longitudinal wave determined/measured? How is it measured in a transverse wave? What does the amplitude represent in both types of waves?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is determined by the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position; in a transverse wave, it is measured by the height of the wave crest or depth of the trough. Amplitude represents the energy carried by the wave in both types.
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is determined by the frequency of the wave; in a transverse wave, it is measured by the wavelength. Amplitude represents the speed of the wave in both types.
