     • A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point of the wave. When the crests and troughs of two sine waves of equal amplitude and frequency intersect or collide, while being in phase with each other, the result is called constructive interference and the magnitudes double (above and below the line).

   What are the troughs of a wave?

   • Points C and J on the diagram represent the troughs of this wave. The trough of a wave is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position. The wave shown above can be described by a variety of properties. One such property is amplitude.

   What is a crest of a wave?

   • At any given moment in time, a particle on the medium could be above or below the rest position. Points A, E and H on the diagram represent the crests of this wave. The crest of a wave is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position.

   What is a trough & a rest position?

   • Some important terms: rest position – the position of a particle when a wave isn’t present. peak - the highest point above the rest position. trough - the lowest point below the rest position. amplitude - the maximum distance of a point of a wave from its rest position. wavelength λ – the distance between two peaks or two troughs.

   How does a hand hold a rope taut?

   • Slide 1 of 3, , 1. A hand holds a length of rope taut In the diagram the rope moves up and down, producing peaks and troughs. Energy is transferred from left to right at right angles to the hand movement. However, none of the particles are transported along a transverse wave. The particles move up and down as the wave moves from left to right.

   A wave’s frequency can be measured by how many crests (or how many troughs) pass a location in a certain amount of time. A wave with a larger frequency has more energy. If a wave’s frequency doubles, its energy also doubles. A wave’s energy is proportional to the square of its amplitude.

   Troughs and crests serve as opposing features of a wave that are critical for its overall behavior. While crests represent high points where energy peaks, troughs are low points indicating reduced energy. Together, they help define important properties like amplitude and wavelength.
