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'

∙ 13y agoHalve of the wavelength (distance from crest to crest, same as trough to trough)
(if wavelength is constant) if you are measuring in the direction of propagation.
1/2 amplitude if measuring at right angles to direction of propagation.

∙ 12y agoThe distance between a trough and a trough is the same as the distance between a crest and a crest. This distance is called the wavelength.

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 time between the passage of two waves crests or troughs at a fixed point?
wavelength
What are the five main parts of sound and light waves?
Waves have a repeating series of crests and troughs. The crests are where a wave's amplitude is at its maximum. Between every two successive crests is a trough, where the wave's amplitude is at its minimum. The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the wavelength. The measure of how frequently new crests are formed is the frequency. The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is the distance between two adjacent Wave crests or troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
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.
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.
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
What is the definition of crest and trough?
it depends on what you are talking about if your talking about light here it is light can be classified as a wave when your talking about crests and troughs a crest is the top most part of the wave if you split the wave in half the trough has the same principle it is the lowest most part of the wave if you split it in half does that clarrify a little bit?

How do you find the wavelength of a sound wave?
Measure the length between two crests or two troughs.
What is the time between the passage of two waves crests or troughs at a fixed point?
wavelength
Distance between wave crests?
The distance between two crests of water is the "wavelength."WavelengthIs a one complete wave length(wave lenght)That would be the wavelength.wavelengthIn a wave, the distance from crest to crest is commonly called a wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two corresponding crests on any type of wave is called a wavelength.That is what is considered the wavelength. Same thing with the troughs.wavelengthThe frequency of the wavelenght, or the Hertz, is the distance between two crests.ans2. wavelength is sufficient.The frequency (Hertz) will depend on the speed of the signal in that medium. Just ignore "Hertz" in the first sentence.wavelength. Which affects frequency.In sound it determines pitch. In visible light it determines color.In waves, the distance is the period. The frequency of the wave is equal to the inverse of the period.Wavelength.wavelengthdistance between two adjacent crests is called as WAVELENGTH.......Distance between two crests is the wavelength of a wave.wavelength (distance between two crests or troughs) !Wavelength.wavelengthThe distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a transverse wave is called the wavelength.The distance between consecutive crests or troughs on a wave is called as wavelength.Wavelength
