What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?

Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.


In a transverse wave the peak of the wave is the crest and the lowest spot is the through?

True, the peak is the crest and the lowest is the trough.


What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?

The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.


What are the lowest points on transverse wave called?

The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough


What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?

it is called a seismic wave


Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?

A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.


The highest part of a transverse wave are called?

crest


What is the highest pint of the transverse wave called?

The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.


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.


Lowest part of a transverse wave?

The lowest point on a transverse wave is called 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 wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?

Transverse wave.
