No. The crest is the height of the wave. The period is the time it takes for 2 waves to pass one point.

---Only one wave, but two crests, the high and the low one. The number of waves per second is the frequency.

What is the number of wave crests that pass a place in one second called?

The number of wave crests passing a given place in one second is the frequency of the wave given in cycles per second, or Hertz.


What is the frequency of a sea wave crest passing a stick twice every second?

The frequency of the sea wave crest passing a stick twice every second is 2 Hz. This means that two wave crests pass by the stick in one second.


What is the number of crests or troughs that pass a point each second?

The number of crests or troughs that pass a point each second is known as the frequency of the wave. This is typically measured in hertz (Hz), with one hertz representing one crest or trough passing a point per second.


Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?

Wave a has a greater frequency since it has a crest appearing every second, while wave b has a crest appearing every minute. Frequency is defined as the number of crests passing a fixed point in a given amount of time, so wave a has a higher frequency than wave b.


What is height of wave called?

The height of a wave is called the amplitude. The top of the wave is called the crest. The bottom of the wave is called the trough.The frequency of the wave is the number of wave crests passing a given point in a specific amount of time. Frequency is measured in hertz.


The top of a wave is called what?

Crest.


Is the white top of a wave?

The crest.


What is the relationship wavelength and frequency?

Frequency is the number of wavelenghts passing though a given point in one second. Wavelength is the distance between two crest or troughs. The relationship between wavelenght and frequency is given by f = 1/wavelength. where f = frequency


If you notice that the number of waves that go past increases you also find that the distance between each crest?

If the number of waves passing by per unit time increases, the distance between each crest will decrease. This is because the frequency of the waves is directly related to the distance between the crests - as the frequency or number of waves increases, the distance between each crest decreases.

The crest of a hill is called the summit or peak.


What is the Distance from crest to crest is called?

In a wave, it is called the wave length.
