How does one measure the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?
Okay, it is very simple. The formula is: the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength. v= fλ the lambda is the wavelength. Using basic arithmetic, you can rearrange the equation to : λ= v/f There you go. That's how to find the wavelength
How do you measure a longitudinal wave?
The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
What measure the distance from one trough to the next trough of a wave?
Wave length..
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
What sound does a longitudinal wave make?
It depends on the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.

What wave type is a sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, and they require a medium for propagation.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
What measure the distance from one trough to the next trough of a wave?
Wave length..
What is the distance from crest to midpoint of a transverse wave?
If I understand the question correctly, that's one-quarter of a full cycle, so it is 1/4 of the wavelength. The wavelength varies from wave to wave - and this has nothing to do whether the wave is transverse or longitudinal.
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
Which term describes the distance between any two crests in a transfer wave or the distance between any rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
Wavelength
