Distance between wave crests?
The distance between two crests of water is the "wavelength."WavelengthIs a one complete wave length(wave lenght)That would be the wavelength.wavelengthIn a wave, the distance from crest to crest is commonly called a wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two corresponding crests on any type of wave is called a wavelength.That is what is considered the wavelength. Same thing with the troughs.wavelengthThe frequency of the wavelenght, or the Hertz, is the distance between two crests.ans2. wavelength is sufficient.The frequency (Hertz) will depend on the speed of the signal in that medium. Just ignore "Hertz" in the first sentence.wavelength. Which affects frequency.In sound it determines pitch. In visible light it determines color.In waves, the distance is the period. The frequency of the wave is equal to the inverse of the period.Wavelength.wavelengthdistance between two adjacent crests is called as WAVELENGTH.......Distance between two crests is the wavelength of a wave.wavelength (distance between two crests or troughs) !Wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a transverse wave is called the wavelength.The distance between consecutive crests or troughs on a wave is called as wavelength.Wavelength
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?
What is the trough of a wavelength?
Measuring a wave from crest to trough in the verticaldirection will give the amplitude of the wave. It's called the peak to peak value (as it is is a measure of the distance from the positive peak to the negative peak -- the crest and trough). Measuring the wave in the horizontal direction from a crest to a trough will result in half a wavelength.Picture a water wave frozen on the surface of a pond. The distance (verticaly) from the bottom of a trough to the top of a crest is the amplitude of that wave. A measure of the distance (horizontally) from the bottom of a trough to the top of a crest is half the wavelength of the wave. (Note that athe use of "bottom of a trough" and "top of a crest" might seem redundant or even nonsensical, but is applied here in the hopes of clarity.)
. is the distance from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough?
When observing a wave, the distance between the highest point in the waveform to the next peak would be the wavelength and it's equal to the rate that the wave is moving (in meters-per-second: m/sec) multiplied by the frequency of the waves (in Hertz: Hz "occurrences per second"). The answer would be in meters per occurrence, meaning how many meters are there from crest to crest.
Distance of a starting point and an ending point called?
i think it is legnth but im not sure :)(:
What is the distance between a wave's mid-point and crest?
Wavelength
Distance between one point in a wave and the nearest point just like it?
The distance from crest to crest (or trough to trough) is the wavelength.
Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?
No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?
Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.
What part of the wave is half the distance between the crest and the trough?
the point of inflection will appear half the distance between the peak and trough of a sinsoidal wave.
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 distance from a crest of a wave to the midway point of that wave?
the point of inflection will appear half the distance between the peak and trough of a sinsoidal wave.
What is the vertical distance from the crest of a wave to the trough?
Vertical distance from a wave's highest point to it's lowest point is called the amplitude of a wave.
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 is the vertical distance between the trough and the crest called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude.
