That is twice the frequency. Frequency is equal to the number of complete cycles which pass a point per second.

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?
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 distance between to point of the crest of a wave it is called what?
In a wave, it is called the wave length.
Relationship of wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency?
distance between two successive crests or troughs is called one wavelength and at any point the number of succesive crests or troughs passing through a given point in one second is called its frequencyWave speed c = frequency f times wavelength lambdaFor a wave in air the speed of sound is c = 343 meters per second at 20 degrees Celsius.For a wave in vacuum the speed of light is c = 299 792 458 meters per second.frequency f = wave speed c divided by wavelength lambda.There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa.Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".
What is a reference point - science?
It is the point, number or place used to compare another point, number or place
What is the number of crests or troughs that pass a point each second?
the answer to your question is called the frequency
What is the time between the passage of two waves crests or troughs at a fixed point?
wavelength
What is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point every second called?
Frequency
What is the frequncey of a wave?
Frequency of the wave is the number of crests passing at a point in one second. Actually crests are not passing through, but it appears so.

What is the name of the distance between the highest point of the wave and the lowest is?
The wavelength is the horizontal distance between the crests or troughs of two successive waves.
Uniform wave motion consists of a progress of a progression of wave crests and troughts counting the number of crests that pass a fixed point in a one-second time interval measures the what of the wa?
The number of crests that pass a fixed point in a one-second time interval is called the "frequency" of the wave. It's also equal to the (speed of the wave) divided by the (wavelength)
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
What is the Difference between the crest and trough?
wave height. -- The highest point of a wave is known as its crest while the trough is the lowest point of the wave. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs. by: Claire O.
Are ocean waves and sound waves different?
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
How are pitch and amplitude the same?
They aren't the same. Imagine a water wave - the pitch (that is, the frequency) is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point per second. The amplitude is the height of the wave For a sound wave, the pitch is again related to the number of wave crests per second that pass a fixed point. The amplitude in this case is a measure of pressure difference between wave maxima and minima.
What is meant by the frequency of a wave?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
