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.....
What else can I help you with?
What term describes the distance from the crest to the trough of a wave?
The term that describes the distance from the crest to the trough of a wave is called the amplitude.
How do you find the amplitude of a wave?
The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint to the crest (or peak) of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement from equilibrium that a particle in the medium will experience while the wave passes through. This can be measured by taking half the distance between the peak and trough of the wave.
Lowest point of transverse wave?
The lowest point of a transverse wave is called the trough. It is the point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at its maximum negative value. The crest is the opposite, being the highest point on the wave where the displacement is at its maximum positive value.
What is the height of a wave called it start with an a?
The height of a wave is called its amplitude. Amplitude is the distance from the midpoint of a wave to its crest or trough. It represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its resting position.
The more crowded area or more dense area of a compressional wave is called the?
The more crowded area or more dense area of a compressional wave is called the compression or the crest of the wave. This is where the particles of the medium are closer together and the pressure is higher.
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?
False. The wavelength of a wave is actually measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough, not from crest to trough.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points in phase, either from crest to crest or trough to trough. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave and can be measured in meters or any unit of length.
Is this statement true or false Wave length is measured from the crest to the trough?
False. The wavelength of a wave is measured from crest to crest or trough to trough, representing the distance between two corresponding points on a wave cycle.
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.
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 the distance from one trough to another is called?
The distance from one trough to another in a wave is called the wavelength. It is the length of one complete cycle of the wave, measured from trough to trough or from crest to crest.
What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough of a wave is the amplitude of the wave, which represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position. It is measured from the midpoint between the crest and trough to the highest point of the crest or the lowest point of the trough.
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
The height of a wave is measured from the center of the wave (the equilibrium position) to the crest or trough of the wave. It is half the distance between the crest and trough of the wave.
What is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
The distance between two adjacent crests of a transverse wave is called the wavelength. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave and is measured in meters (m) or other units of length.
Are wavelengths measured from the crest to the trough?
No, the wavelength of a wave is measured from crest to crest (or trough to trough) because it represents the distance between two successive points of the same phase on a wave.
