The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?

The peak of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs is called the rarefaction. This is the point where the air molecules are spread out, creating a region of decreased pressure compared to the surrounding air.


The point of maximum displacement in a wave is?

The point of maximum displacement in a wave is the peak amplitude, which represents the greatest distance from equilibrium that a particle in the medium is displaced. This point occurs at the crest of the wave for transverse waves and the compression for longitudinal waves.


What is the highest point a wave?

The highest point of a wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the amplitude is the greatest before it breaks or subsides.


How do you know the greatest amount of energy in a wave?

The greatest amount of energy in a wave is determined by its amplitude, which is the height of the wave from the resting position to the peak. Waves with higher amplitudes carry more energy.


What part of an ecg do atria contract?

Atrial depolarization occurs at the P wave. The atrial contraction occurs at the peak of the wave at the influx of calcium ions to prolong depolarization.


What is wave length in sound?

The wave length is the distance between the peak of one sound pressure or electrical wave and the peak of the next. It's also known as one cycle (1 Hertz).


What is the region if increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?

Increased pressure in a longitudinal wave corresponds to the region of compression, where particles are pushed closer together. This region represents the peak of the wave.


The distance between one peak and the next in a wave?

If you mean between two positive, or two negative, peaks of an electrical wave, it's the wavelength. If it's a pressure wave, "peak" is usually taken to mean "maximum pressure", so it would be between "peaks".


What part of the wave is half the distance between the crest and the trough?

The half the distance between the crest and the trough is the midpoint of the wave, known as the equilibrium position or the rest position. This is where the wave is at its average height and no displacement from the wave's position occurs.


What is the peak to peak distance of wave?

The wavelength.


The is the greatest distance that particles in a medium move from their normal position when a wave passes.?

When measured, this distance (from normal to peak) is considered to be 1/2 of the amplitude. Amplitude is defined as the peak-to-peak distance.


What is distance between one peak and the next in a wave?

If you mean between two positive, or two negative, peaks of an electrical wave, it's the wavelength. If it's a pressure wave, "peak" is usually taken to mean "maximum pressure", so it would be between "peaks".
