What measure the distance from one trough to the next trough of a wave?
Wave length..
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
Three characteristics of a wave that you can measure?
wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
How are the different types of electromagnetic wave organized?
By frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.

What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
Do wavelength measure from the top of one wave to the top of another wave?
Yes. To be precise, the wavelength is the length of one precise cycle, and one way to measure that is from top to top.
Three characteristics of a wave that you can measure?
wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
How are the different types of electromagnetic wave organized?
By frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum
How do you find wavelength of a wave?
The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
What are the applications of Michelson interferometer?
to measure wavelength and other wave characters
How do you measure the wavelength of a transverse?
You can measure it from crest to crest (highest point of a wave), trough to trough (lowest point of a wave), or from normal to normal.
What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
