In a wave, the crest and trough heights are not equal; they represent opposite extremes of the wave's displacement. The crest is the highest point, while the trough is the lowest point. The distance from the equilibrium position to the crest is called the amplitude, and it is the same for the trough, making the amplitude equal in both directions but not the heights themselves. Thus, while the amplitudes are equal, the actual heights of the crest and trough differ in value.

What is the difference between a trough and a crest?
Since you evidently do not know what these words mean, let me help you remember them.TROugh - rhyme TRO with LOW and you can remember it's the low portion of a wave (just remember the word is pronounced "trauff" though)Crest - C is for CAP to remind you that the crest is at the top of the wave, like a cap on your head
Which is broadest intertrochanteric crest or intertrochanteric line?
The intertrochanteric crest is broader than the intertrochanteric line. The intertrochanteric crest is a prominent ridge located on the posterior aspect of the femur, connecting the greater and lesser trochanters, while the intertrochanteric line is a less pronounced ridge on the anterior aspect of the femur. The crest provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments, making it a more substantial structure compared to the line.
How do you find volume of triangular prism?
You muliply the base times the height of one of the triangles in the trianagular prism (both triangles will be similar, proportional, and equal, and you divide that number by two or multiply that number by 1/2, then you multiply that number times the height or length of one triangle's end to the other triangle's end of the triangular prism to obtain your final volume. The formula is as follows. V=1/2(b*h)(height)
How many sides are equal in a parallelogram?
Two pairs of equal sides.
What is the height of mount sinai?
7500 feet asl
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
The height of a wave is measured from the center of the wave (the equilibrium position) to the crest or trough of the wave. It is half the distance between the crest and trough of the wave.
What measures the height of a wave?
Generally taken as the height between the crest and the preceding trough.
What is the highest point of a wave a. crest c. wave height b. trough d. wavelength?
a. crest
How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?
False. The wavelength of a wave is actually measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough, not from crest to trough.
What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
What is the difference between a crest and a trough?
If you are referring to a sine wave, a crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so it is the minimum or lowest point in a cycle. See Photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crest_trough.svg
Is a wave largest at the trough or the crest?
Equal, I've never seen a wave uneven. A= equal
Top of a wave?
The crest of a wave is the topmost point where the wave reaches its maximum height. It is followed by the trough, which is the lowest point of the wave. The crest is a peak of energy moving through the water.
How do you measure a transverse wavelength?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
