The distance between the crest of a wave to the rest position of the medium?
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave
What is the distance from the rest position to the wave's crest?
the answer is amplitude. for a+ users.
Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?
No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
What is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
Explain what the amplitude of a water wave is?
the maxium distance the particals of the medium carrying a wave move away from their mean position

Explain what the amplitude of a water wave is?
the maxium distance the particals of the medium carrying a wave move away from their mean position
What is the rest position in a wave?
The position where a wave would be if there was no movement.
This is the height of the wave above its rest position?
It is called the crest, as the bottom is called a troth.
The maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying a wave move away from their rest position is called the waves?
Amplitude of the wave
The lowest point below the rest position of a wave?
The lowest point below the rest position of a wave is called the trough. The highest point above the rest position is called the crest.
What is the parts of waves?
A wave is disturbance or oscillation, that travels through matter (eg mechanical waves) or space (eg electromagnetic waves) accompanied by a transfer of energy. A wave can be transverse or longitudinal, depending on the direction of its oscillation.A single definition for the term WAVE is not straightforward. However waves haveA direction,A velocity,An amplitude,A wavelength.A waveformWaves are best described mathematically. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Parts of a Wave Transverse Wave For a transverse wave, there are five main parts that make up the wave. They are: the equilibrium or rest position, the crest, the trough, the amplitude, and the wavelength. The equilibrium or rest position is the imaginary line that represents where the string (for example) would assume if there was no wave traveling through it. The crest is the point on the wave that has the greatest positive displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The trough is the point on the wave that has the greatest negative displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the crest, or trough to the rest position. It is the maximum amount of displacement that the wave has. The wavelength of a wave is the length of one complete wave cycle. This means, the length from crest to crest or tough to trough, from the rest position over a crest and trough and back to the rest position, or any two other point that are one complete wave cycle. Longitudinal Wave For a longitudinal wave, there are three main parts that make up a wave. They are: the compression, the rarefaction, and the wavelength. Since the particles of a longitudinal wave are vibrating and moving in line with the wave, there are areas where the coils (of a slinky, for example) are closer together. These areas are called compression's. The areas where the coils are spaced out more are called rarefaction's. The wavelength for a longitudinal wave is very similar to that of a transverse wave. It is still the length of one complete wave cycle, but instead of it being from crest to crest, it is from compression to compression, or rarefaction to rarefaction, or any two other points that are at the same point on the wave cycle.
What is the amplitude a transverse wave?
the amplitude is from rest position to all the way to the crest or trough
What is the amplitude of a transverse wave?
the amplitude is from rest position to all the way to the crest or trough
