What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
What is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
That would be the wavelength, it can also be measured from trough to trough.
What is height of the wave called?
The height of a wave is called the amplitude. The top of the wave is called the crest. The bottom of the wave is called the trough.The frequency of the wave is the number of wave crests passing a given point in a specific amount of time. Frequency is measured in hertz.
Is the height of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another crest?
false
Does The height of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?
false
The height of a wave is measured from the top of one crest to the top of another True or False?
That's the wavelength. Isn't it?
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
Is the heat of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?
No, the heat of a wave is measured by using, for example, a thermometer to gauge temperature. The distance from crest to crest is wavelength.
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
Does the top of the wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?
false
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
What the amplitude in a water wave is?
The height of the wave measured from the place of zero disturbance - in other words, half the vertical distance between crest and trough.
What is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
That would be the wavelength, it can also be measured from trough to trough.
