Chapter 9, Problem 40R

To determine

The diagram of a transverse wave and label the crest, trough, wavelength and amplitude also identify the period and frequency for the wave.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The wave in which the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation is known as transverse wave.

The diagram of transverse wave is shown below.

  Figure-(1)

In Figure-(1), the diagram of transverse wave is shown and crest, trough, amplitude and wavelength is labeled.

The time period is defined as the interval in which a cycle is completed and the frequency is defined as number of vibrations per second.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the diagram is shown above.
