The trough or the valley between two waves is the lowest part of a wave. Its highest point is called the crest.

∙ 9y agoThe very top of a wave is called the crest.
They very bottom is the trough.
From one crest to the next is the wavelength.
The center of the wave is the medium, or rest position.
From the medium to the crest is the amplitude.
The wave has two parts i.e. Crest and Trough
the frequency equals f = 1/t

The two main parts of a wave are the?
The two main parts of a wave are the crest and the trough. The crest is the high part of the wave and the trough is the bottom.
Is a p wave fast or slow?
a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
Is Wave Power Suitable For UK Sites?
wave power is suitable for parts in the UK like the costs because there is where you could fine seas to form waves.
What is the parts of waves?
A wave is disturbance or oscillation, that travels through matter (eg mechanical waves) or space (eg electromagnetic waves) accompanied by a transfer of energy. A wave can be transverse or longitudinal, depending on the direction of its oscillation.A single definition for the term WAVE is not straightforward. However waves haveA direction,A velocity,An amplitude,A wavelength.A waveformWaves are best described mathematically. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Parts of a Wave Transverse Wave For a transverse wave, there are five main parts that make up the wave. They are: the equilibrium or rest position, the crest, the trough, the amplitude, and the wavelength. The equilibrium or rest position is the imaginary line that represents where the string (for example) would assume if there was no wave traveling through it. The crest is the point on the wave that has the greatest positive displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The trough is the point on the wave that has the greatest negative displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the crest, or trough to the rest position. It is the maximum amount of displacement that the wave has. The wavelength of a wave is the length of one complete wave cycle. This means, the length from crest to crest or tough to trough, from the rest position over a crest and trough and back to the rest position, or any two other point that are one complete wave cycle. Longitudinal Wave For a longitudinal wave, there are three main parts that make up a wave. They are: the compression, the rarefaction, and the wavelength. Since the particles of a longitudinal wave are vibrating and moving in line with the wave, there are areas where the coils (of a slinky, for example) are closer together. These areas are called compression's. The areas where the coils are spaced out more are called rarefaction's. The wavelength for a longitudinal wave is very similar to that of a transverse wave. It is still the length of one complete wave cycle, but instead of it being from crest to crest, it is from compression to compression, or rarefaction to rarefaction, or any two other points that are at the same point on the wave cycle.
Which type of seismic wave can travel through the interior of the?
If you mean Earth's interior, only longitudinal waves can pass through the liquid parts.
What are the major parts of a wave?
The major parts of a wave is the crest and the trough.
Draw a common Wave and label the following parts?
Draw a wave and label four parts
Parts of a wave?
crest
The two main parts of a wave are the?
The two main parts of a wave are the crest and the trough. The crest is the high part of the wave and the trough is the bottom.
What is the distance between corresponding parts of the wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
What are the two parts to a transverse wave?
A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.
What is the distance between parts of a wave?
The wavelength.
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called what?
Is call the wave length.
In what type of wave are certain parts of the wave always at the rest position because of total destruction interference between the waves?
Stationary wave.
What are the two main parts of wave?
the crest and the trough
What are different parts of a transverse wave?
