Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest
The difference between one point of a wave and another point is the phase difference, which reflects how much the wave has shifted in terms of position or time. This phase difference determines whether the points are in phase (crest aligns with crest or trough with trough), out of phase (crest aligns with trough), or somewhere in between.
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of the wave. In other words, the wavelength is the length of one complete cycle of the wave, measured from crest to crest.
In a transverse wave, amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position to the crest or trough of the wave. It is a measure of the energy carried by the wave.

rarefaction is equivalent to trough and compression is equivalnet to crest
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
Crest is good Colgate is Bad

They are the same thing.

The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between a compression (high pressure) or rarefaction (low pressure) and the next compression or rarefaction. It is the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters.
Crest corresponds to compression, where air molecules are tightly packed together, leading to a peak in pressure. Trough corresponds to rarefaction, where air molecules are spread further apart, causing a decrease in pressure. These variations in pressure create the wave-like pattern of sound waves.
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.
