Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
What are the five main parts of sound and light waves?
Waves have a repeating series of crests and troughs. The crests are where a wave's amplitude is at its maximum. Between every two successive crests is a trough, where the wave's amplitude is at its minimum. The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the wavelength. The measure of how frequently new crests are formed is the frequency. The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.
Sound waves a made up of a series of crest and to troughs?
Well... not really, unless you plot them right. Sound waves are compression waves; regions of higher density alternating with regions of lower density.If you plot density vs. position (or vs time at a particular position, either way works) you do get out the familiar wave form with crests and troughs.
In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Do x rays have crests and troughs?
yes because all waves have crests and troughs.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
Have compressional waves crests and troughs?
Yes.
Are ocean waves and sound waves different?
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.

Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
