Standing Waves.
When crests overlap crests, they reinforce each other and create a larger amplitude wave. When troughs overlap troughs, they also reinforce each other and create a larger trough. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference.
When the crests of one wave overlap the troughs of another wave, they are said to be in destructive interference. This results in the waves partially or completely canceling each other out, leading to a decrease in amplitude.
The distance between two adjacent wave crests or troughs is called the wavelength.
What is the measure of how high the crests are or how deep the troughs are

yes because all waves have crests and troughs.

Electromagnetic waves do not have crests or troughs. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not exhibit the typical wave characteristics of crests and troughs like water waves do.
Yes, a sound wave will have crests and troughs. The crests represent the points of maximum positive displacement in the wave, while the troughs represent the points of maximum negative displacement. This pattern of alternating crests and troughs forms the waveform of the sound wave.
Yes, compressional waves have crests and troughs. The crests are the points of maximum positive displacement or compression, while the troughs are the points of maximum negative displacement or rarefaction.
Folded layers of rock that form a wavelike pattern of troughs and crests are called anticlines and synclines. Anticlines are the upward-arching folds, while synclines are the downward-arching folds between them.
The highest points in a transverse wave are called crests, while the lowest points are called troughs. Crests represent the points of maximum positive displacement, while troughs represent the points of maximum negative displacement in the wave.
