a:
b:
c:
d:

Explanation:

• Crest (A): The highest point of a transverse wave.
• Amplitude (B): The maximum displacement from the rest position (equilibrium) to the crest (or trough).
• Trough (C): The lowest point of a transverse wave.
• Wavelength (D): The distance between two consecutive identical points on a wave (e.g., from crest to crest or trough to trough).

Answer:

A. Crest
B. Amplitude
C. Trough
D. Wavelength
