The trough or the valley between two waves is the lowest part of a wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is a p wave fast or slow?
a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
What are the different parts of waves?
for me I BELIEVE IN THE SAYING THAT "EVERY FILIPINO DESERVE IT" I THANK YOU
What is the parts of waves?
A wave is disturbance or oscillation, that travels through matter (eg mechanical waves) or space (eg electromagnetic waves) accompanied by a transfer of energy. A wave can be transverse or longitudinal, depending on the direction of its oscillation.A single definition for the term WAVE is not straightforward. However waves haveA direction,A velocity,An amplitude,A wavelength.A waveformWaves are best described mathematically. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Parts of a Wave Transverse Wave For a transverse wave, there are five main parts that make up the wave. They are: the equilibrium or rest position, the crest, the trough, the amplitude, and the wavelength. The equilibrium or rest position is the imaginary line that represents where the string (for example) would assume if there was no wave traveling through it. The crest is the point on the wave that has the greatest positive displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The trough is the point on the wave that has the greatest negative displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the crest, or trough to the rest position. It is the maximum amount of displacement that the wave has. The wavelength of a wave is the length of one complete wave cycle. This means, the length from crest to crest or tough to trough, from the rest position over a crest and trough and back to the rest position, or any two other point that are one complete wave cycle. Longitudinal Wave For a longitudinal wave, there are three main parts that make up a wave. They are: the compression, the rarefaction, and the wavelength. Since the particles of a longitudinal wave are vibrating and moving in line with the wave, there are areas where the coils (of a slinky, for example) are closer together. These areas are called compression's. The areas where the coils are spaced out more are called rarefaction's. The wavelength for a longitudinal wave is very similar to that of a transverse wave. It is still the length of one complete wave cycle, but instead of it being from crest to crest, it is from compression to compression, or rarefaction to rarefaction, or any two other points that are at the same point on the wave cycle.
What are light waves and label the parts?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy and information. They consist of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. The parts of a light wave include the wavelength (distance between wave peaks), frequency (number of wave cycles per second), and amplitude (height of the wave).
What are the major parts of a wave?
The major parts of a wave are the crest (highest point of the wave), trough (lowest point of the wave), wavelength (distance between two successive crests or troughs), and amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position).
What are three parts of a wave?
The three parts of a wave are the crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the wavelength (the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs).
Parts of a wave?
crest
What is the distance between corresponding parts of the wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called what?
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wavelength.
What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
What are the two parts to a transverse wave?
A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.
What is the distance between parts of a wave?
The 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 the amplitude of the resulting wave if a wave with amplitude 4 cm meets another wave of the same wavelength and amplitude and their high parts meet?
The resulting wave's amplitude will be 8 cm (4 cm + 4 cm) when the high parts of the waves meet in phase.
Draw a common Wave and label the following parts?
I'm unable to draw images, but I can describe a common wave for you. A wave typically consists of a crest (the highest point of the wave), a trough (the lowest point of the wave), amplitude (the height of the wave from the resting position), and wavelength (the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs).
