   What is crest and trough of a 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. 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.

   What does crest trough mean?

   • Crest: the highest point of the wave. Trough: the lowest point of the wave. Wave height: the distance between the crest and the trough. Wavelength: the distance between two identical points on successive waves, for example crest to crest, or trough to trough. Wave steepness: the ratio of wave height to length (H/L).

   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 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 the distance between two successive crests?

   • The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave, or wavelength. While the passage of each wave is associated with an up and down motion, the water is actually moving in a circular motion. It is this orbital motion of the water that causes an object to bob up and down, forward and backward, as waves pass under it.

   How does a wave move in a trough?

   • As a wave passes, water moves forwards and up over the wave crests, then down and backwards into the troughs, so there is little horizontal movement. This is evident if you have ever watched an object such as a seabird floating at the surface.

   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.

   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.

    Apr 14, 2023 · The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough. Wave height is the overall vertical change in height between crest and trough. The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave, or wavelength.
