    Answer:

    4.8 m

    Explanation:

    A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation of the particles occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

    The amplitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of the wave with respect to the equilibrium position.

    The crest of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the positive side, while the trough of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the negative side.

    This means that the amplitude of a wave is equal to the distance between a crest (or a trough) and the equilibrium position.

    Therefore, we have:

    d=2A

    where:

    d is the distance between the top of a crest and the bottom of a trough

    A is the amplitude of the wave

    Here we have:

    A = 2.4 m

    So, we find

    d=2\cdot 2.4 = 4.8 m
