What is the half perpendicular distance from the top of the crest to the bottom of the trough?

The half perpendicular distance from the top of the crest to the bottom of the trough is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position.


What is the distance from the top of one crest of a transverse wave to the top of the crest wave?

The distance from the top of one crest of a transverse wave to the top of the next crest is the wavelength of the wave. This distance is measured in the direction of wave propagation.


Is the distance from the top of one crest of a transverse wave to the top of the next crest in that wave?

Yes, the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest in a transverse wave is called the wavelength. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave.


The amplitude of a wave is a direct measure of its?

Energy.The amplitude is the measure of the distance between the Crest of the wave ( the top) and the equilibrium of the wave ( the line that goes directly through the center of the wave) and this distance does in fact represent the amount of energy in a wave. -Linzy Sharlene Grade: 9-


What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?

The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight

Is the heat of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?

No, the heat of a wave is measured by using, for example, a thermometer to gauge temperature. The distance from crest to crest is wavelength.


What is the length of one crest to the top of another crest?

I assume you mean, the crests of a wave. That distance is called the wavelength.

What the wave height called in physics?

The wave height in physics is referred to as the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. Amplitude is a fundamental characteristic used to describe various types of waves, including electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves.


What are the parts of the wave?

The trough or the valley between two waves is the lowest part of a wave. Its highest point is called the crest.


What is the top part of a wave called..?

The top part of a wave is called the crest. It is the highest point of the wave above the rest position.


The top of a wave is called what?

Crest.
