14
Amplitude __________ is the __________ ________ the ________ of the _________carrying the _________ ________ __________ from their ________ ___________. The _________ the ________ ________ as it ___________the ________the ___________ of the resulting waves. The ________ the __________the ________ the ________ of _________
15
Amplitude of transverse waves The __________ of a ________ _________ is the ___________ ___________ the _________ moves _____ or ________ from its ______ ________. You can find the amplitude of a transverse wave by __________ the _________ from _______to _________ or ________to _______.
16
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave. The __________ of a _________ _______ is a ________of how __________ or ___________ the medium becomes.
