In a transverse wave, the trough represents the lowest point where the displacement of the wave is at its minimum value. This is because the trough corresponds to the region of the wave where the particles are at their lowest point of oscillation, moving in opposite direction to the direction of wave propagation.
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
The letter "A" typically corresponds to the amplitude of a wave. Amplitude represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position.
The letter "B" is typically used to label the trough of a wave.
The peak of the wave corresponds to the crest, which is represented by the highest point of the wave's oscillation.

The letter "C" typically labels the wave's trough on a wave diagram.
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
No, the distance from the trough of one wave to the trough of another wave is not the wave amplitude. The wave amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its equilibrium position.
The particles in a compressional wave are spaced farthest apart at the rarefaction region, which corresponds to the trough of the wave where the pressure and density are lower than normal.
The trough of a wave is located at the lowest point of the wave, where the displacement is the most negative. It is the opposite of the crest, which is the highest point of the wave. When you illustrate a wave, you can depict the trough as the bottommost point of the wave.
When the trough of Wave A overlaps the trough of Wave B, the two troughs will combine to create a larger and deeper trough, increasing the amplitude of the resulting wave. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference and results in a more significant wave.
