Which parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
Well the wavelength is the distance between succesive crests, or troughs on a transverse wave is the distance between consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a longitudinal wave. the frequency can is the time between consecutive crest on a transverse wave and the time between consecutive rarefactions or compressions on a longitudinal wave. the amplitude on a transverse wave is the distance between a crest and the zero value of the wave, not till the trough. on a longitudinal wave the amplitidue is measured by the strength of the rarefactions or compressions as compared to the natural state of the propagation medium. so for a longidudinal wave travelling throught the air; if the compression pressure is 4 bar the amplitude would be greater than if the compression pressure was 3 bar, because the air's natural pressure is 1 bar. in reality things like sound waves have much less compression pressure.
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
What is the distance between crest or the distance between compressions?
Retractions
What is the distance between two rarefactions that are next to each other called?
wave length.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
