Which statement can be made about the amplitude of any transverse wave? it is the length from the midpoint to the crest. it is half the length from the midpoint to the trough. it is the length of the wavelength. it is half the length of the wavelength

A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.A transverse wave moves in the form of crests and troughs.

The successive distance between two crests or troughs is called wavelength.

The amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum distance that a particle can move from its equilibrium position.

In case of transverse waves, the amplitude of a transverse wave is the distance between midpoint of the wave to the crest.

Hence the correct answer to the question will be the first one i.e It is the length from the midpoint to the crest.

when the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a maximum .
