If the distance from a crest to the next trough is 1 meter, the wavelength is 2 meters, because wavelength is measure from crest to crest.

When 2-meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2-meter deep trough of another wave has what results?
Constructive interference. The troughs will add and if your amplitude of either trough is a and b, the final trough will have amplitude a+b.
When the 2-meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2-meter deep trough of another wave?
They will cancel each other out... this even works with light and sound waves.
What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?
"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.
Scale that measures amplitude of waves?
That depends a lot on the type of waves you want to measure. For waves on water, you would measure the amplitude in meters, for sound waves you would use pressure units, for electromagnetic waves you would use either electric or magnetic units, etc.
That is the wavelength of infared?
The wavelength of infrared between four hundred to seven hundred mitro meter

What determines the height of a wave?
Make a graph above zero mark 5 points distanced 1cm each from other. mark below zero the same but with negative sign. Any wave always have a positive or a negative or together cycle. the individual is called "half cycle" and whole is called "full cycle". Now, the contact of each wave's frequency above and below the zero; this distance is called as the length of the wave. If, you are looking for how long will it travel then it depends on its wavelength. Also, a separate carrier signal is used to carry it long distance.
When the 2 meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2 meter tall crest of another wave what results?
The waves add to form a 4-meter tall crest.
What scientific unit is used to measure wavelength?
First, the wavelength is usually measured from crest to crest or from trough to trough. Wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter lambda, the character for length. Wavelengths vary from kilometers to Angstroms. The Angstrom is represented by the symbol (A with a small circle atop)) (first answer) Just like your height, or the distance to a far away star, a wavelength can be expressed in any unit of length. Examples are meters, feet, kilometers, miles, inches, nanometers, etc.

How much water can fit into a 1 meter long trough?
Depends on the width and depth of the trough.

What is the frequency of a water wave that has a speed of 0.4 meter per second and a wavelength of 0.02 meter?
Divide the speed by the wavelength. (For any wave, the wavelength times the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave.)
What is the wavelength for visible light?
The wavelength for visible light is between 400-800nm Range. nm: Nano Meter (0.000000001 or 1/1000000000 of Meter)
That is the wavelength of infared?
The wavelength of infrared between four hundred to seven hundred mitro meter
What is the frequency of a150 meter radio wavelength?
Frequency = speed/wavelength = 300,000,000/150 = 2 MHz
