What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?
Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
What is the peak of a transverse wave called?
The crest is the name of the top part of a transverse wave
What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
Half the vertical distance between the crest and through of a wave is called the?
The vertical distance between a wave's midpoint and its crest or trough is called is peak amplitude. This differentiates this measurement from the vertical distance from a crest to a trough, which is called its peak-to-peak amplitude.
What is a trough?
In electromagnetic waves -- or ocean waves, for that matter -- a crest is the peak, or maximum height, of the waveforms. A troughs is the lowest point. The wavelength of a wave is measured from one crest (peak) to the next or from one trough to the next. The trough is the low point of a wave.

The high point of a wave is?
The high point of a wave is its creast or peak.
Is the wavelength the distance from the crest to trough?
The peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance from the trough to the crest. The wavelength is the distance from one crest to the next crest.
What is a trough?
In electromagnetic waves -- or ocean waves, for that matter -- a crest is the peak, or maximum height, of the waveforms. A troughs is the lowest point. The wavelength of a wave is measured from one crest (peak) to the next or from one trough to the next. The trough is the low point of a wave.
What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
The distance between one crest or peak of a sound wave and the next crest or peak?
Wavelength
What peak of a sand dune is called?
Crest :)
Top of a sound wave is called what?
the highest point of a wave (transverse) is called a "crest" and the lowest point of a tranverse wave is called "trough"
What is vertical distance between a trough and a crest?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
