it depends on what you are talking about if your talking about light here it is light can be classified as a wave when your talking about crests and troughs a crest is the top most part of the wave if you split the wave in half the trough has the same principle it is the lowest most part of the wave if you split it in half does that clarrify a little bit?
What else can I help you with?
What is The wavelength of a transverse wave is often measured from?
Crest to trough
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the waves?
If it's crest to crest and trough to trough then it's the wavelength.
What is the trough of a wavelength?
Measuring a wave from crest to trough in the verticaldirection will give the amplitude of the wave. It's called the peak to peak value (as it is is a measure of the distance from the positive peak to the negative peak -- the crest and trough). Measuring the wave in the horizontal direction from a crest to a trough will result in half a wavelength.Picture a water wave frozen on the surface of a pond. The distance (verticaly) from the bottom of a trough to the top of a crest is the amplitude of that wave. A measure of the distance (horizontally) from the bottom of a trough to the top of a crest is half the wavelength of the wave. (Note that athe use of "bottom of a trough" and "top of a crest" might seem redundant or even nonsensical, but is applied here in the hopes of clarity.)
What are the high and low points of a transverse wave called?
The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
Can you describe the parts of a sound wave?
Crest and Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency
How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
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.
How do you measure a transverse wavelength?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
What is the distance from the crest to crest or from trough to trough called?
wavelength
The two main parts of a wave are the?
crest and trough. The crest is the highest point of a wave, while the trough is the lowest point.
What is wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough is called the wavelength of a wave. It represents the distance over which the wave's shape repeats itself.
What is the distance of the crest or the trough from the midpoint of the waves?
In the direction of propagation, it's one-quarter the wavelength. Perpendicular to that, it's the amplitude (or half the amplitude, depending on what definition you're using).
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
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 a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
