Question

study the diagram. which correctly identifies the parts of a transverse wave? a: crest b: amplitude c: wavelength d: trough a: trough b: amplitude c: crest d: wavelength a: trough b: amplitude c: wavelength d: crest a: crest b: amplitude c: trough d: wavelength

Explanation:

• Crest: The highest point of a transverse wave, so A is crest.
• Amplitude: The distance from the rest position to the crest (or trough), so B is amplitude.
• Trough: The lowest point of a transverse wave, so C is trough.
• Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs), so D is wavelength.

Answer:

A: crest
B: amplitude
C: trough
D: wavelength
