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 distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.
Which wave properties are distances?
Amplitude and wavelength are the two main distance measurements, where wavelength is the distance from one crest or trough to another, and amplitude is the distance from a crest or trough to the wave's midpoint.
What is the distance between the trough of one wave to the next trough?
wavelength
Bottom of a wave is called a?
The lowest point of a wave is known as the trough

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 the wavelength the distance from the crest to trough?
The peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance from the trough to the crest. The wavelength is the distance from one crest to the next crest.
What is it called when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another?
Destructive interference
Is the distance from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough?
wave-length, designated by lamda
What is the distance between one trough and the next trough in a transverse wave?
You need a tape measure for that!
When the crest of one wave passes through another wave what occurs?
When the crest, or high point, of one wave passes through the crest of another wave, both of the crests' heights are added into one larger crest. After they pass, each crest becomes its original height that they were before the incident. This phenomena called constructive interference. This also occurs when the trough, or low point, of a wave passes through the trough of another. Now, when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, the height and depth of each is added (think of the trough's depth as a negative number) and the resulting amplitude (the distance from the middle of the wave) is "constructed". And once again, after the crest and trough finish passing each other, both crest and trough become their original amplitude that they were before the incident. This phenomena is called destructive interference.
What measure the distance from one trough to the next trough of a wave?
Wave length..
