The number of times that a wave's amplitude cycles from its starting point,through its highest amplitude and its lowest amplitude,and back to its starting point over a fixed period of time,is known as what term below?
A)amplitude
B)frequency
C)wavelength
D)phase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of times a wave's amplitude cycles per unit time is defined as its frequency. The frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), which is the number of full cycles of the wave that occur in a second. Amplitude refers to the height of the wave, while wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase. Phase refers to the relative timing of the wave.
