Question

describing the parts of a transverse wave
match the part of the wave to its description.
the height from the midpoint
to a crest or a trough
the distance from one crest to the
next, or one trough to the next
the lowest point on the wave
the highest point on the wave

Explanation:

• Trough: The lowest point on the wave.
• Crest: The highest point on the wave.
• Amplitude: The height from the midpoint to a crest or a trough.
• Wavelength: The distance from one crest to the next, or one trough to the next.

Answer:

• Trough: the lowest point on the wave
• Crest: the highest point on the wave
• Amplitude: the height from the midpoint to a crest or a trough
• Wavelength: the distance from one crest to the next, or one trough to the next
