usually 1 - a crest is the highest tip of a wavelength. But if the wavelength is measured from the highest point them in 1 wavelength there will be 2 crests

If three crests of a wave pass by a point how many complete wavelengths have passed by the point?

If three crests of a wave pass by a point, then one complete wavelength has passed by the point. Each crest represents one wavelength, so three crests equal three-quarters of a complete wavelength.


What is the distance between the crests of two waves?

The distance between two wave crests is called the wavelength. It is typically measured from one crest to the next crest, and it represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave pattern.


Which term describes the distance between any two crests?

What Light of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.


What is the distance between adjacent troughs and crests?

Wavelength


The distance between two consecutive crests on a wave?

The distance between two consecutive crests on a wave is known as the wavelength. It is typically measured in meters and represents the length of one complete wave cycle. Wavelength is an important property of a wave and determines its frequency and energy.


What is meant by the term wavelength?

Wavelength is the distance between the crests in waves. It is also the distance between one peak of a wave to the next corresponding peak.


Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.


What is the wave distance between 21 crest is 80mm?

The wavelength can be calculated by dividing the distance between 21 crests (80 mm) by the number of crests. In this case, the wavelength would be 80 mm / 21 crests = approximately 3.81 mm.
