No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.

The distance from crest to crest (or trough to trough) is the wavelength.

No. The amplitude is from the wave's rest position to the crest.

What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
Where on a wave diagram is the wavelength?
On a wave pattern, the measurement of distance between two corresponding wave peaks, troughs or crests will give the wavelength.
Can you think of other ways of describing the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave refers to the distance between two crests or the distance between two troughs. The length of one complete wave cycle is called a wavelength.
What is the distance betwtwo adjacent wave crests or troughs called?
That's called the wavelength.
What and the distance between two crests and two troughs?
Half of wavelength. Say it either two successive crests or successive troughs. Then the answer will be wavelength Other wise say that the distance between successive crest and trough. That will be half of wavelength Avoid 'two'
What is the distance between adjacent troughs and crests?

What is a sentence for wavelength?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs (peaks or valleys).
How do you work out the wavelength of a sound?
It's the distance between any consecutive crests or troughs . it is the length of a wave .
What is the name of the distance between the highest point of the wave and the lowest is?
The wavelength is the horizontal distance between the crests or troughs of two successive waves.
Can you think of other ways of describing the wavelength of a wave?

That's called the wavelength.
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
