What is the distance between one trough and the next trough in a transverse wave?
You need a tape measure for that!
What is the distance between the trough of one wave to the next trough?
wavelength
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
What is the wavelength of the wave?
The distance from one peak to the next peak
How do you measure and wavelength?
The wavelength is the distance from one peak (or trough) of the wave to the next peak (or trough). The amplitude is the distance from the mean value to the top of the peak (or the bottom of the trough). Alternatively, the amplitude is one half of the distance between the height of peak to the depth of the trough.How you measure these depends on the nature of the waves.

What does the wavelengths measure?
It is the distance from peak to peak (or trough to trough) of a wave.

Is the distance from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough?
wave-length, designated by lamda
Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?
No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
How do you measure the wavelength of sound?
distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.
How is wave length of light determined?
To measure the wavlength of light or sound, you measure the distance from ther crest (hump) of the wave to the trough (dip) of the wave.
How do you measure the wavelength of a transverse wave?
To measure the amplitude of a transverse wave, you measure the the maximum displacement of a point in the wave's medium relative to the medium's resting position. The more energy the wave has, th more the medium will be displaced. D
What is the distance from any one point on one wave to a corresponing point on an adjacent wave?
A wavelength. In a given wave, if we measure the distance from a peak to a peak, or a trough to a trough, or even from the beginning of one "up" or "down" cycle to the beginning of the next "up" or "down" cycle (respectively), we should get the same measurement (the wavelength) for that wave with every measuring event.
