This diagram represents displacement distance graph of wave travelling in a straight line. The amplitude and wavelength of this wave respectively are

A

2 meter and 1 meter

B

1 meter and 2 meter

C

1 meter and 1 meter

D

2 meter and 2 meter

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of particle from mean position. Hence, A= 2 m Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crest or trough,
`therefore` Wavelength, `lambda = 2.5 - 0.5 = 2` m
