What else can I help you with?
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
When waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs overlap with troughs, it is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes add up, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.
Which waves do not have crest or a through?
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.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
How do compressions and rarefactions compare to crests and troughs?
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.
Do x rays have crests and troughs?
yes because all waves have crests and troughs.
Have compressional waves crests and troughs?
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.

In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
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.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.

Are the waves for cell phones longitudinal?
The waves transmitted from phone to phone are transverse (crests and troughs), but the waves from the phone to your ear are longitudinal
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
No, compressions and rarefactions are characteristics of longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
