What are the major parts of a wave?

The major parts of a wave are the crest (highest point of the wave), trough (lowest point of the wave), wavelength (distance between two successive crests or troughs), and amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position).


What are three parts of a wave?

The three parts of a wave are the crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the wavelength (the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs).


What is the distance between corresponding parts of the wave?

It would be its wave lengths!!


The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called what?

The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wavelength.


What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?

In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.


What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave?

It would be its wave lengths!!


What are the two parts to a transverse wave?

A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.


What is the distance between parts of a wave?

The wavelength.


The two main parts of a wave are the?

crest and trough. The crest is the highest point of a wave, while the trough is the lowest point.


What is the amplitude of the resulting wave if a wave with amplitude 4 cm meets another wave of the same wavelength and amplitude and their high parts meet?

The resulting wave's amplitude will be 8 cm (4 cm + 4 cm) when the high parts of the waves meet in phase.


Draw a common Wave and label the following parts?

I'm unable to draw images, but I can describe a common wave for you. A wave typically consists of a crest (the highest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point of the wave), amplitude (the height of the wave from the resting position), and wavelength (the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs).


In what type of wave are certain parts of the wave always at the rest position because of total destruction interference between the waves?

Stationary wave.
