Problem

Along a straight line, points A, B, C, D and E are marked such that AB = BC = CD = DE = 4 cm4\,\text{cm}. At a particular instant of a transverse wave snapshot: • Point B is at maximum upward displacement. • Point D is at maximum downward displacement. • Points A and C cross the mean position moving upward. • Point E crosses the mean position moving downward. Which of the following distances equals one complete wavelength of the wave? a) AB‾\overline{AB} b) BD‾\overline{BD} c) AE‾\overline{AE} d) AD‾\overline{AD}
