Transverse wave has crests and troughs. But longitudinal has only compressions and rarefactions. Any way while drawing figures even for longitudinal as in the case of organ pipes we follow only crest and trough structures.

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 part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
What type of wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough?
Transverse wave
When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?
Transverse wave
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 a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
The two main parts of a wave are the?
The two main parts of a wave are the crest and the trough. The crest is the high part of the wave and the trough is the bottom.
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
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 wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
Which type of wave has a trough and crest?
what is a wave with a low, smooth crest called? what is a wave with a low, smooth crest called?
What type of wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough?
Transverse wave
When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?
Transverse wave
What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
