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 is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
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.
Bottom of a wave is called a?
The lowest point of a wave is known as the trough
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

What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
What is it called when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another?
Destructive interference

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
What is the lowest point of a wave called?
The lowest point of a wave is called a trough.

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.

How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
