Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a wave, the distance between two consecutive crests is known as what?
  • Step 1: Understand what a wave is. A wave is a disturbance that travels through space and matter, transferring energy from one place to another.
  • Step 2: Identify the parts of a wave. A wave has high points called crests and low points called troughs.
  • Step 3: Focus on the crests. Crests are the highest points of the wave.
  • Step 4: Look at two consecutive crests. These are two crests that come one after the other.
  • Step 5: Measure the distance between these two crests. This distance is important in understanding the wave.
  • Step 6: Learn the term for this distance. The distance between two consecutive crests is called the wavelength.
