Distance between wave crests?

The distance between two crests of water is the "wavelength."WavelengthIs a one complete wave length(wave lenght)That would be the wavelength.wavelengthIn a wave, the distance from crest to crest is commonly called a wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two corresponding crests on any type of wave is called a wavelength.That is what is considered the wavelength. Same thing with the troughs.wavelengthThe frequency of the wavelenght, or the Hertz, is the distance between two crests.ans2. wavelength is sufficient.The frequency (Hertz) will depend on the speed of the signal in that medium. Just ignore "Hertz" in the first sentence.wavelength. Which affects frequency.In sound it determines pitch. In visible light it determines color.In waves, the distance is the period. The frequency of the wave is equal to the inverse of the period.Wavelength.wavelengthdistance between two adjacent crests is called as WAVELENGTH.......Distance between two crests is the wavelength of a wave.wavelength (distance between two crests or troughs) !Wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a transverse wave is called the wavelength.The distance between consecutive crests or troughs on a wave is called as wavelength.Wavelength


What is the definition of crest and trough?

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?


. is the distance from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough?

Ah, I see you're curious about the concept of wavelength. It's simply the distance between one crest (the highest point of a wave) to the next crest, or one trough (the lowest point of a wave) to the next trough. Understanding wavelengths can help you appreciate the beauty and harmony of nature's patterns. Just like painting, waves have their own unique rhythm and flow that create a peaceful balance in the world.


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 is the distance between one crest and the next in a wave called?

The distance between one crest and the next in a wave is called the wavelength. It is measured from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next wave.


What is the distance between a wave's mid-point and crest?

The distance between a wave's midpoint and crest is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its resting position. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.


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.


What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?

The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight


What is distance between two adjacent wave crest or water troughs?

The distance between two adjacent wave crests or water troughs is called the wavelength. It is measured from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.


Which property of waves is the distance between one point on a wave and that same point on the wave next to it?

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.


What is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point of the next wave?

That is incorrect.The distance of one complete wave cycle (for example, from one wave crest to the next) is called the wave's wavelength.The number of cycles per second is called the frequency.


What is the distance from a crest of a wave to the midway point of that wave?

the point of inflection will appear half the distance between the peak and trough of a sinsoidal wave.


What is the vertical distance between a waves trough and crest is called?

Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?

Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.


The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?

The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.


Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?

No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
