They don't. They only relate to transverse waves, not longitudinal waves.

What is equivalent to a crest and a trough in a longitudinal wave?

rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest


What is difference between crest and rarefaction?

A crest is the highest point of a wave, while a rarefaction is the lowest point of a wave. In other words, the crest is the peak of the wave, and the rarefaction is the trough or dip. Together, the crest and rarefaction make up the waveform of a wave.


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.


How do you measure a transverse?

From crest to crest or trough to trough


How do you measure the wavelength of sound?

distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.


What is the wavelenght of the waves?

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase. It is usually measured from peak to peak or trough to trough in a transverse wave, or from compression to compression in a longitudinal 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.
