What else can I help you with?
Have compressional waves crests and troughs?
Yes, compressional waves have crests and troughs. The crests are the points of maximum positive displacement or compression, while the troughs are the points of maximum negative displacement or rarefaction.
What do you call a group of surfers?
a group of surfers in a small area of water, waiting for the waves, or a group of surfers that know each other is called a surf pack, but when they are localists, meaning they are very mean to outsiders, they are a surf gang.
Does wave transmit momentum?
Yes, waves can carry momentum. This can be seen in phenomena like the transfer of momentum from ocean waves to surfers or in the pressure exerted by sound waves on a surface.
How is constructive interference different from destructive?
In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is a multiple of 2pi, whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of pi.
Is a tsunami a single wave?
No, a tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of water, such as an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption. These waves can travel across oceans and may consist of multiple crests and troughs.
What type of waves have crests and troughs?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. In transverse waves, particles in the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
What are wave crests?
The top of the waves.
What is the term for the distance between two crests if the water waves?
The term for the distance between two crests of water waves is wavelength.
Do x rays have crests and troughs?
yes because all waves have crests and troughs.
Have compressional waves crests and troughs?
Yes, compressional waves have crests and troughs. The crests are the points of maximum positive displacement or compression, while the troughs are the points of maximum negative displacement or rarefaction.
What type of waves do surfers look for?
waves with alot of ocean tides
Which waves do not have crest or a through?
Electromagnetic waves do not have crests or troughs. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not exhibit the typical wave characteristics of crests and troughs like water waves do.
What is the peak of a sand dune?
Waves of sand, like waves of water, can be said to have crests.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
When waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs overlap with troughs, it is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes add up, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.
In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
How far out do surfers go?
Anywhere there are waves... ANYWHERE
Do surfers use swash waves for surfing?
yes they do
