What is crest wave?

A crest wave is the highest point of a wave where the water rises to its maximum height. This is followed by the trough, which is the lowest point between waves. Visualizing a crest wave can help understand the oscillatory motion of waves in bodies of water.


What is the bottom of a crest?

Between the tops of two crests, there is a trough marking the lowest point.


What is opposite of crest in a wave?

The opposite of crest in a wave is the trough. The crest is the highest point of a wave, while the trough is the lowest point.


What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?

The vertical distance between a crest and a trough of a wave is the amplitude of the wave, which represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position. It is measured from the midpoint between the crest and trough to the highest point of the crest or the lowest point of the trough.


Where is a trough in a trasverse wave?

In a transverse wave, a trough is the lowest point of the wave where the displacement of the medium is at its minimum. It is the opposite of a crest, which is the highest point of the wave. The distance between a trough and a crest is known as the amplitude of the wave.


What is the name given to the lowest point of a wave?

it is called crest


What is the Difference between the crest and trough?

wave height. -- The highest point of a wave is known as its crest while the trough is the lowest point of the wave. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs. by: Claire O.


Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?

Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.


What is the lowest point of a wave called?

The lowest point of a wave is called a trough.


What is the difference between a crest and a trough?

If you are referring to a sine wave, a crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so it is the minimum or lowest point in a cycle. See Photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crest_trough.svg


What is the vertical distance between the highest and lowest point of a wave?

It is entirely dependent on the size of the wave !! Crest and trough
