What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
The addition and subtraction of wave crests and troughs is called?
Principle of Super position of waves.
Do x rays have crests and troughs?
yes because all waves have crests and troughs.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
Have compressional waves crests and troughs?
Yes.
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.

What is the time between the passage of two waves crests or troughs at a fixed point?
wavelength
Are the waves for cell phones longitudinal?
The waves transmitted from phone to phone are transverse (crests and troughs), but the waves from the phone to your ear are longitudinal
