Damage may be a result of the direct effects of alcohol on the brain or may result indirectly, from a poor general health status or from severe liver disease. For example, thiamine deficiency is a common occurrence in people with alcoholism and results from poor overall nutrition.
In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction. On the diagram above, the distance from point A to point C or from point B to point D would be representative of the wavelength.
View Full Document. The wavelength of the waves is the distance between two adjacent wave crests. To accurately measure the wavelength of the wave, we need to take a snapshot of the wave in time. The simulation allows us to do this by pressing the âpause/playâ button at the bottom of the screen.
