Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: In a longitudinal wave, what term is a measure of how compressed particles of the medium become when the wave passes through? Answer: amplitude
Student:
In a longitudinal wave, amplitude is a measure of how compressed particles of the medium become when the wave passes through. The closer together the particles are, the greater the amplitude.
