What type of wave has a trough and a crest?

Transverse wave has crests and troughs. But longitudinal has only compressions and rarefactions. Any way while drawing figures even for longitudinal as in the case of organ pipes we follow only crest and trough structures.


The two main parts of a wave are the?

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


What is a Longitudinal wave caused by vibration?

Longitudinal waves are waves that are produced by disturbance that is parallel to that of the direction of wave or oscillations produced along the path of the wave. The longitudinal waves consist of areas of comressions, the center of which is in a crest, and areas of rarefactions, the center of which is in a trough. Crest in a transverse wave is the part of wave at the maximum above the isoelectric line (midline) and trough is the minimum below the isoelectric line. The example of longitudinal waves is sound waves.


What is a trough and a crest?

it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave


Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?

False. The wavelength of a wave is actually measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough, not from crest to trough.


What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?

The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough is called the wavelength of a wave. It represents the distance over which the wave's shape repeats itself.


The spot with the highest crest or compression is produced through what interference?

Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.


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.).


The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?

Is the wave length


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.


A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?

In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.


What is the height of the crest or trough?

The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
