A depression or low place between the crests of a wave is called a trough. It is the lowest point in the wave's cycle and represents the opposite of a crest.
The depression or low place between the crests of a wave is called a trough. It is the lowest point in the wave pattern, situated below the equilibrium level of the water.
Compressions and rarefactions are regions of high and low pressure in a longitudinal wave, while crests and troughs are points of maximum positive and negative displacement in a transverse wave. Both terms describe different aspects of wave behavior: compressions and rarefactions in longitudinal waves, and crests and troughs in transverse waves.
High-frequency waves have more waves packed into the same distance compared to low-frequency waves, with shorter distances between wave crests. So, a high-frequency wave appears to have more waves in a given space, while a low-frequency wave looks more stretched out with fewer waves in the same space.
Waves are made up of oscillations or disturbances that propagate through a medium. They consist of a repeating pattern of crests (high points) and troughs (low points). The key elements of a wave include amplitude (height of the wave), wavelength (distance between successive crests), frequency (number of waves passing a point in a given time), and wave speed (how fast the wave moves through the medium).
In transverse waves, the crests are the high points, also known as hills, while the troughs are the low points, also referred to as valleys.
The depression or low place between the crests of a wave is called a trough. It is the lowest point in the wave pattern, situated below the equilibrium level of the water.
The area between bulges of water is a depression or a low-tide area. High tidal bulges have these low-tide areas which would correspond to troughs.
It is a valley.
A dale is a low place between hills; a valley.
A dale is a low place between hills; a valley.
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
Compressions and rarefactions are regions of high and low pressure in a longitudinal wave, while crests and troughs are points of maximum positive and negative displacement in a transverse wave.

The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
