What are the characteristic of a wave?
in general, a harmonically oscillating, one dimensional wave is described by the following function: f(x,t)=Acos(2phi*t/T -2phi*x/ג) where A is the amplitudes (or wave height), T is the wave's period time and ג is the wave length. these are the three basic characteristics of a wave. other characteristics can be calculated from these: the frequency f=1/T , and the speed of the wave v=גf.
How do you measure a longitudinal wave?
The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
What does velocity of a wave measure?
The speed and direction of a wave
What is the measure of the size of the disturbance from a wave?
Wave velocity

The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
What does velocity of a wave measure?
The speed and direction of a wave
What is the measure of the size of the disturbance from a wave?
Wave velocity
Light demonstrates wave characteristics when it is?
... monitored with a detector designed to detect wave characteristics. When monitored with a detector designed to detect particle characteristics, light demonstrates those too.
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
is there a scale used to measure the intensity of heat wave
Does light behave primarily as a wave or as a particle when it interacts with a detector?
-- If the detector is designed to detect wave characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a wave when it encounters that detector. -- If the detector is designed to detect particle characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a particle when it encounters that detector.
