What is the lowest part of a transverse wave below the rest position?

The lowest part of a transverse wave below the rest position is called the trough. This is where the displacement of the wave is at its maximum negative value.


Which part of the diagram indicates the amplitude of the wave?

In a wave diagram, the amplitude is indicated by the distance from the resting position to the highest point of the wave (for a transverse wave) or how compressed the wave is (for a longitudinal wave). This represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.


What is the similarities between crest and trough?

Both crest and trough are terms used to describe the highest and lowest points of a wave, respectively. They are important in defining the amplitude and frequency of a wave. In a transverse wave, the crest represents the peak while the trough represents the lowest point.


What is the highest part and lowest part of the wave called?

The highest part of a wave is called the crest, while the lowest part is called the trough.


The illustration to the right shows a wave label each part in the space below?

To label the parts of a wave, identify the crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point), the wavelength (the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs), and the amplitude (the height from the equilibrium position to the crest or trough). Additionally, mark the equilibrium position, which is the central line where the wave oscillates around. Each part plays a crucial role in defining the wave's properties.
