How are the crest and trough of a wave alike?

The crest and trough of a wave are both points on the wave's amplitude. The crest is the highest point of the wave, while the trough is the lowest point. They are mirror images of each other across the equilibrium position of the wave.


What happens when the crest and trough collide?

The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.


The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certin point?

The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is the wavelength. It is the distance between successive crests of a wave, typically measured in meters.


What are three parts of a wavelength?

There is one part to a wavelength - the wavelength, measured in metres.


Which term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass certain point is called the what?

The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is called the "period" of the wave. This is the time interval between two consecutive wave crests passing a fixed point.


What are the parts of a wave define each 5 parts?

Answer Trough-the lowest point of the wave Crest/Peak-the highest point of the wave Wave length-the distance from one part of the wave, to the same part further on (sorry can't define it very well!) Amplitude - the maximum height reached Wave speed - the number of waves to pass a fixed point per second


Is The wavelength of a wave measures the height of each crest?

No. The wavelength is the distance, or separation, between each crest.


What happen to the displacement when the two waves meet in phase crest on crest?

When two waves meet in phase with crest on crest, they undergo constructive interference, reinforcing each other. This results in a larger displacement at the point where they meet compared to each individual wave.


If each grid line stands for 10 feet. how far is it from the lowest point on the right to the lowest point of the left?

Why The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point?

The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is called the "period" of the wave. It is typically measured in seconds and is the inverse of the frequency of the wave.


What happened waves superpose?

they echo


What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
