What is the wave length of the water wave?
in order to find the wavelength, you measure the distance from one crest to the next.
What is the distance between to point of the crest of a wave it is called what?
In a wave, it is called the wave length.
The top of a wave is called what?
Crest.
What are the high and low points of a transverse wave called?
The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
What is the definition of crest and trough?
it depends on what you are talking about if your talking about light here it is light can be classified as a wave when your talking about crests and troughs a crest is the top most part of the wave if you split the wave in half the trough has the same principle it is the lowest most part of the wave if you split it in half does that clarrify a little bit?
The distance from one crest to another crest is call?
In a wave train, the distance between successive wave crests is called the "wavelength".
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
What and the distance between two crests and two troughs?
Half of wavelength. Say it either two successive crests or successive troughs. Then the answer will be wavelength Other wise say that the distance between successive crest and trough. That will be half of wavelength Avoid 'two'
What term describes the distance between the crest to the trough of a wave?
It is called trough. The highest point is known to be crest. The distance between successive crests is known as wavelength of the wave. This is the most important characteristic of a wave. Same way the distance between any two successive troughs too is the wavelength.
What do you call the horizontal distance between the highest or lowest points of two successive waves?
The crest?
The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.
What is the wave length of the water wave?
in order to find the wavelength, you measure the distance from one crest to the next.
What is the Difference between the crest and trough?
wave height. -- The highest point of a wave is known as its crest while the trough is the lowest point of the wave. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs. by: Claire O.
What is the distance between the crest and trough of a walled called?
Distance between a trough and crest in a wave is half wavelength
The distance between the crest of the one wave of electromagnetic radiation and the crest of the next one is its?
The distance between one crest of a wave and the next is called its wavelength.
Half the vertical distance between the crest and through of a wave is called the?
The vertical distance between a wave's midpoint and its crest or trough is called is peak amplitude. This differentiates this measurement from the vertical distance from a crest to a trough, which is called its peak-to-peak amplitude.
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
