An oscilloscope is a device that is used to electronically show the crest and trough of sounds. These were previously called oscillographs.

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.


What is the correct way to measure wavelength?

The correct way to measure wavelength is by using a ruler or measuring device to determine the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, such as two peaks or two troughs. This distance represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters, nanometers, or other units depending on the scale of the wavelength being measured.

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 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
