Homework Statement
During one complete cycle, a wave moves through ___ wavelength, ___ period, __ amplitudes
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I got 1 wavelength, 1 period, and 2 amplitudes
But apparently the answer is 1 wavelength, 1 period, and 4 amplitudes
But I don't see how that's true. The answer even says that 2 is a common mistake, but doesn't really explain why.
If in one cycle, the wave starts at the x-axis, goes up, gown down, and returns on the x-axis, wouldn't that only be 2 amplitudes?
