Question

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

Explanation:

• Trough: By definition, it is the lowest point on a wave.
• Amplitude: It is calculated as the height from the mid - point (equilibrium position) to a crest (or trough).
• Crest: It is the highest point on a wave.
• Wavelength: It is measured as the distance from one crest to the next crest (or one trough to the next trough).

Answer:

trough: the lowest point on the wave
amplitude: the height from the midpoint to a crest or a trough
crest: the highest point on the wave
wavelength: the distance from one crest to the next, or one trough to the next
