How is the height of waves measured?
From maximum (crest) to minimum (troth) in height.
What is the wavelenght of the waves?
The maximum height of crest and trough determines the wavelength of waves
Vertical distance between a waves crest and trough?
wave height
What is the distance between a waves crest and its trough called?
It is called the wave height.
What is crest in waves?
The crest in waves are the broken peices of the waves in the ocean

What is a trough?
In electromagnetic waves -- or ocean waves, for that matter -- a crest is the peak, or maximum height, of the waveforms. A troughs is the lowest point. The wavelength of a wave is measured from one crest (peak) to the next or from one trough to the next. The trough is the low point of a wave.
Is the number of waves passing one point in a second called crest?
No. The crest is the height of the wave. The period is the time it takes for 2 waves to pass one point. ---Only one wave, but two crests, the high and the low one. The number of waves per second is the frequency. Sage.
How can you determine a waves wavelength?
by measuring the distance from crest to crest
What is the vertical distance between a waves trough and crest is 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 happens when a crest falls on the crest during superposition of waves?
we get a bigger crest
What is a Longitudinal wave caused by vibration?
Longitudinal waves are waves that are produced by disturbance that is parallel to that of the direction of wave or oscillations produced along the path of the wave. The longitudinal waves consist of areas of comressions, the center of which is in a crest, and areas of rarefactions, the center of which is in a trough. Crest in a transverse wave is the part of wave at the maximum above the isoelectric line (midline) and trough is the minimum below the isoelectric line. The example of longitudinal waves is sound waves.
How can you determine waves wavelength?
by measuring the distance from crest to crest.
