The area between waves is called the "trough" or "valley" of the wave. This is where the wave's amplitude is at its lowest point.
The property of waves referred to as the distance between one point on a wave and that same point on the wave next to it is called the wavelength. It is often represented by the symbol λ and is measured in meters.
Trough. The crest is the highest point of the wave while the trough is the lowest point.
To determine the phase difference between two waves, you can compare the starting points of the waves and measure the time it takes for each wave to reach a specific point. The phase difference is then calculated based on the difference in time or angle between the two waves.
transverse waves are...well.. wavy when compression waves are like a domino affect or like pushing a spring the similarities is that the both transport power from point a to point b however their movement is very different
The horizontal distance between 2 waves or 2 crests is called the wavelength. It is the distance from one point on a wave to the equivalent point on the next wave. It is typically measured in meters or other units of length.
The wavelength is the horizontal distance between the crests or troughs of two successive waves.
The property you are referring to is called wavelength. It is the distance between the same point on two consecutive waves, such as from one crest to the next crest or from one trough to the next trough.
Waves can be described by their amplitude (height of the wave), frequency (number of waves passing a point per second), and wavelength (distance between two consecutive points on a wave that are in phase).
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, disturb matter by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy from one point to another. These waves require a medium to propagate, as they rely on the physical interaction between particles to transfer energy.
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as peak to peak or trough to trough. It is often used to describe the length of electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, meaning shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies.
The number of waves that pass a certain point in one second is the frequency of the waves, measured in hertz (Hz).
