The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.

How do you describe a wave?

Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.


What property cannot describe a single wave pulse?

The property of frequency cannot describe a single wave pulse, as frequency refers to the number of wave cycles passing a given point per unit of time. Since a single wave pulse consists of just one wave cycle, it does not have a frequency in the same way a continuous wave would.


What is a way to describe amplitude?

Amplitude is the measure of the magnitude or strength of a wave or oscillation. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. In simpler terms, it describes how loud or powerful a sound wave or vibration is.

How the behavior of a wave is used to describe its movement?

The behavior of a wave, such as its amplitude, frequency, and propagation speed, is used to describe how the wave moves through a medium. For example, a wave with high amplitude carries more energy, while a wave with high frequency oscillates more times per second. The speed of a wave indicates how quickly it travels through a medium, often determined by the properties of the medium itself.

Is the wavelenth horizontal?

Yes, in most diagrams this is correct if the wave is going from left to right. It depends on the wave direction but in most cases the wave is depicted as traveling from left to right. The wavelenght is measured from the top or crest or one wave to the other so it is usally drawn hoziantily so the wave length is always measured the same way.


What is wave letter?
