You need to know about these quantities used in waves - what they mean, the symbols used for them and the units used to measure them. The amplitude (\(a\)) of a wave is the distance from the centre ...

Navigators know that the shape of surface waves provides information about the strength of underlying water currents. This common seafarer’s knowledge is now the object of the scientific inquiry.

You need to know about these quantities used in waves - what they mean, the symbols used for them and the units used to measure them. The greater the amplitude of a wave then the more energy it is ...
