The distance from one crest to another crest is call?
In a wave train, the distance between successive wave crests is called the "wavelength".
What is Light from the Sun transfers solar energy to the Earth system Sunlight travels to Earth as wave?
Electromagnetic
Why is light from the sun able to reach earth?
Light is an electromagnetic wave, requiring no medium in with to travel. It emanates from the Sun in a spherical manner until it hits something or travels sufficient distance to diminish in intensity adequately to become invisible, according to the inverse square law.
How long would it take a radio wave with a frequency of 7.75 multiplied by 102 Hz to travel from Mars to Earth if the distance between the two planets is approximately 8.00 multiplied by 107 km?
In free space a radio wave travels at about 300,000 kilometers per second. The speed doesn't depend on frequency. The distance of Earth from Mars is variable. I presume the question means a distance of 8.00 x 107 kilometers. So, the answer is about 80,000,000/300,000 seconds. That's about 800/3 = about 267 seconds. That's about 4 minutes and 27 seconds.
What is the Ditstice Between Crests?
The distance between crests( like in ocean waves) is referred to as it's wave length. Wave length also has direct effect on it's frequency, how often the wave repeats.
What part of a wave travels a great distance?
The part of a wave that travels great distance is i don't really know but it's okay your gonna find the right answer.
What is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time is called what?
The distance that a wave travels in a certain amount of time is a wavelength. Wrong,it's speed.(:
Which of these is the measure of distance a wave travels over time?
wave speed
What is the greatest distance a wave travels from its position?
amplitude
What is the best way to describe wavelength?
the distance a wave travels in a given amount
During a single period the distance traveled by a wave is?
During a single period a wave travels just one wavelength.
What is the term for the distance from the highest part of one wave to the highest part of the next wave?
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive wave crests.
A wave travels an average distance of 1 meter in 1 second with a frequency of 1 hertz Its amplitude is?
A wave travels an average distance of 1 meter in 1 second with a frequency of 1 hertz Its amplitude is that there is not enough information to say. A 60 vibration per second wave travels 30 meters in 1 second, its frequency is 60 hertz and it travels 30 meters per second.
How is amplitude of a longitududinal wave measured?
The distance from the top of the crest of the wave to the central point of the wave (the line that cuts through it). In other words, the furthest it travels from the middle.
What term refers to the distance a wave travels in a cycle?
The distance a wave goes in a single cycle is determined by a few things. The most important is the frequency, or how many cycles are in a second. The speed of a wave is also important, as it is independent from the frequency.
What characteristic of a wave describes the greatest distance a wave vibrates from a resting position?
The characteristic of a wave that describes the greatest distance it travels, or vibrates from a resting position is called the amplitude, which is the technical name. A more common name would be loudness.
How does wave speed differ from frequency?
Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a given period of time. Frequency is the number of oscillations in a given period of time. The third leg of the triangle is wavelength--the distance between peaks of the wave. Given any two of these values for a wave, you can calculate the third.
