You are probably asking how Wavelegth is measured.......yes the distance between similar points on any waves is the WAVELENGTH . You count the number per second to get the FREQUENCY in cycles per second or HERTZ.... If the Frequency is very low it may take more than one second to complete a wave , then the Frequency is a fraction of a Hertz .ie 0.5hz takes two seconds to complete one wave.....

Is an upward fold called an anticline?
In an anticline, the fold is at the top, called the crest. The syncline, in contrast, is the trough of the "wave."
The more crowded area or more dense area of a compressional wave is called the?
Crest, and the least dense the Trough
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What are the highest points on a standing wave called?
When the trough of a wave and the crest of a different wave meet, the waves cancel completely. This is called destructive interference.
What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?
It is False.
Wave length is measured from the crest to the trough. true or false?
No, you have to measure a complete cycle, for example, from crest to crest.
What is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
That would be the wavelength, it can also be measured from trough to trough.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough?
Usually it is shown in diagrams as from where the variable passes across the zero line, but your way will give the same result. It is the length of one complete cycle that matters.
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.
What is The wavelength of a transverse wave is often measured from?
Crest to trough
Is the distance from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough?
wave-length, designated by lamda
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
