What is the trough of a wavelength?

Answer 1

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.)

Answer 2

This the bottom of a wave

Answer 3

The Trough if you mean by in a wave is the lowest point in a wave. Like a crest is the highest point.

Answer 4

those particles of medium that vibrate above the horizontal position.

Answer 5

A wave is made by an up and down motion. the "trough" happens when you are at the lowest part of the down motion, the "crest" is the highest part of the up motion.

Answer 6

The minimum value a wave reaches relative to its rest position.

Answer 7

If you think of a wave at sea and how it dips and rises, a trough is one of the dips

Answer 8

the minimum value a wave reaches relative to its rest position. is the answer on a+

Answer 9

It is the Lowest point in a wave the upper point is the crest the bottom point is the trough H

Answer 10

Its the shortest (lowest part of the wave) and the Crest is the tallest.
