They don't. They only relate to transverse waves, not longitudinal waves.

What is equivalent to a crest and a trough in a longitudinal wave?
rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest
How do you measure the wavelength of sound?
distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.
What is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength

How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
How do you measure a transverse wavelength?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
What is the distance from the crest to crest or from trough to trough called?
wavelength

What is wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
What is the distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.
What is a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
