usually 1 - a crest is the highest tip of a wavelength. But if the wavelength is measured from the highest point them in 1 wavelength there will be 2 crests

What does wavelength mean in science?
Wavelength is the distance between wave crests.
Where on a wave diagram is the wavelength?
On a wave pattern, the measurement of distance between two corresponding wave peaks, troughs or crests will give the wavelength.
What is the distance between the crests of two waves?
That distance is called the wavelength.
What are the distance between the crests of waves called?
Wavelength.
What is the difference between two crests of a wave?
wavelength
What Light of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is 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.
What are the distance between the crests of waves called?
Wavelength.
What is meant by the term wavelength?
Wavelength is the distance between the crests in waves. It is also the distance between one peak of a wave to the next corresponding peak.
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.
What is the distance between crests or between troughs?
It is called the wavelength.
What is the distance between 2 crests on a transverse wave?
"wavelength"
What is a sentence for wavelength?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs (peaks or valleys).
Which term describes the distance between any two crests?
If you are referring to the crests of a wave then the distance is called the wavelength ( λ)
What is the length of one crest to the top of another crest?
I assume you mean, the crests of a wave. That distance is called the wavelength.
What is the horizontal distance between 2 waves or 2 crests?
wavelength
What is the term for the distance between two crests of water waves?
wavelength
Can you think of other ways of describing the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave refers to the distance between two crests or the distance between two troughs. The length of one complete wave cycle is called a wavelength.
