The highest part of a wave is called its?
A crest is the point on a wave with the greatest positive value or upward displacement in a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest.
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
What is the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave?
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
What is distance from one wave crest to the next crest is the wave's called?
Wave Length
What is the difference between a crest and a trough?
If you are referring to a sine wave, a crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so it is the minimum or lowest point in a cycle. See Photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crest_trough.svg

The crest.
What happens when the crest and trough collide?
The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.

What does the idiom on the crest of a wave mean?
It's not an idiom. It means just what it says -- something is on the crest of a wave. The crest is the top of the wave.
What is the Distance from crest to crest is called?
In a wave, it is called the wave length.
The top of a wave is called what?
Crest.
What is crest wave?
The crest of a wave is its highest point, as opposed to the trough of a wave, which is its lowest point.
What happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference
