What is a crest of a wave?
A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point of the wave.
trough - the lowest point below the rest position. amplitude - the maximum displacement of a point of a wave from its rest position. wavelength - distance covered by a full cycle of the...
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. Points C and J on the diagram represent the troughs of this wave.
A wave’s crest is its highest point, and its trough is its lowest point. A wave’s amplitude is the maximum distance (positive or negative) a wave reaches from its rest position. Wavelength is the distance between the same spot on two sections of a wave.
crest. of one wave to the crest of the next wave. But it doesn't matter where you measure it - as long as it is the same point on each wave. The symbol for wavelength is the Greek...
Crest - the highest point in the wave. Trough - the lowest point in the wave. Wavelength - the horizontal distance between successive crests, troughs or other parts of a wave. Wave height - the vertical distance between the crest of a wave and its neighboring trough.
