As a wave moves through a medium at a speed v, the particles of the medium move in simple harmonic motion about their undisturbed positions. The maximum speed of the simple harmonic motion is vmax. When the amplitude of the wave doubles, both v and vmax double. both v and vmax remain unchanged. v doubles, but vmax remains the same. v remains unchanged, but vmax doubles.

Ineed this now one scientist feels that the changes in global climatic patterns may be good for the health of the biosphere. another scientist feels that sharp changes in climatic patterns could result in the extinction of the biosphere. which of these is the most likely reason the two scientists gave conflicting opinions on the impact of changes in the global climatic pattern? they do not have enough knowledge on the topic. they did not discuss the issue among themselves. they believe conflicting opinion strengthens science. they study different areas of science and have different scientific focuses.
