How do frequency wavelength and amplitude measure waves?
Amplitude defines how powerful waves are. Frequency and wavelength are measures of how often the wave fluctuates or far the wave is from crest to crest , These are related and can be calculated from each other if you know how fast the waves travel.
What are three parts of a wavelength?
There is one part to a wavelength - the wavelength, measured in metres.
What are three features of sound waves?
Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.Frequency; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.Amplitude; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.
Why does destructive interference occur when the path lengths from two identical sources differ by half a wavelength?
because the crest and the troughs interfere with each other and cancel
When the crest of one wave passes through another wave what occurs?
When the crest, or high point, of one wave passes through the crest of another wave, both of the crests' heights are added into one larger crest. After they pass, each crest becomes its original height that they were before the incident. This phenomena called constructive interference. This also occurs when the trough, or low point, of a wave passes through the trough of another. Now, when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, the height and depth of each is added (think of the trough's depth as a negative number) and the resulting amplitude (the distance from the middle of the wave) is "constructed". And once again, after the crest and trough finish passing each other, both crest and trough become their original amplitude that they were before the incident. This phenomena is called destructive interference.

How do waves change as they approach the shore?
The wavelength decreases
What are parts of a wave that rhyme?
The parts of a wave are apparently crest, trough, amplitude, and wavelength, if I'm understanding the related link below correctly. None of these rhyme with each other, but there are words that rhyme with each one of them. Please see the related questions below for "What rhymes with crest?", "What rhymes with trough?", and "What rhymes with amplitude?" "What rhymes with wavelength?" does not exist at the time of this answer.

What are three aspects of sound waves?
Three aspects of sound waves are frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), and wavelength (distance between wave peaks). These factors determine the characteristics of a sound wave such as how high or low the pitch is, how loud the sound is, and how the wave propagates through a medium.
What are three basic components of all signals?
•Amplitude-Height (loudness) of the wave-Measured in decibels (dB)•Frequency:-Number of waves that pass in a second-Measured in Hertz (cycles/second)-Wavelength, the length of the wave from crest to crest, is related to frequency•Phase:-Refers to the point in each wave cycle at which the wave begins (measured in degrees)-(For example, changing a wave's cycle from crest to trough corresponds to a 180 degree phase shift).
The series of ocean waves each 6 m from crest to crest moving past the observer at the rate of three waves per second have what velocity?
velocity = frequency * wavelength velocity = 3 Hz * 6 m velocity = 18 m/s

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.
How is the height of a wave measured?
The height of a wave is the vertical distance between the Trough (bottom) and Crest (top) 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.
