Trough.
The business cycle typically consists of four main phases: expansion, peak, contraction (or recession), and trough. During the expansion phase, economic activity increases, leading to growth and higher employment. The peak marks the highest point of economic activity before a decline begins. Contraction follows, where the economy slows down, potentially leading to a recession, before reaching the trough, the lowest point before recovery occurs.
A business cycle is the recurring pattern of economic growth and contraction in an economy. It consists of four phases: expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. During an expansion, the economy grows, leading to increased employment and consumer spending. At the peak, the economy reaches its highest point before starting to decline during the contraction phase. This leads to decreased economic activity, job losses, and reduced consumer spending. The trough is the lowest point of the cycle before the economy starts to recover and enter a new expansion phase. The business cycle impacts the economy by influencing factors such as employment, inflation, interest rates, and overall economic growth.
The lowest point of the economy is typically referred to as a recession or depression, characterized by a significant decline in economic activity, high unemployment rates, and reduced consumer spending. This downturn can lead to negative GDP growth and widespread business failures. The exact lowest point can vary by country and economic cycle, but it often results from a combination of factors such as financial crises, market crashes, or external shocks. Recovery from this low point usually involves policy interventions and a gradual return of consumer and business confidence.
From its highest point, prosperity, to its lowest point, trough, these phases are marked by increases and decreases in GDP, unemployment, demand for goods and services, and spending.
Trough.
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough. It is the point where the wave's amplitude is at its most negative value.
it is called crest
The lowest point on a wave is called the trough. It is where the displacement of the wave is at its minimum value below the equilibrium position.
The lowest point of a wave is called a trough.
The lowest point of a light wave is called the trough. This is where the wave reaches its minimum amplitude or lowest point of displacement from its equilibrium position.

The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
The lowest point of a curve is called the "minimum." In mathematical terms, it represents the point where the function reaches its lowest value in a given interval. If the curve is part of a larger function, this minimum can be classified as a local minimum (lowest point in a small neighborhood) or a global minimum (lowest point across the entire function).
The low point of a wave is called the trough, which is the lowest point of a wave where the displacement is at its minimum. This is the point where the wave reaches its lowest value below the equilibrium level.

The highest point of a transverse wave is called the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough.
