The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.

What is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
How do you measure a transverse wavelength?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
What is the distance from the crest to crest or from trough to trough called?
wavelength
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
What is wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
What is a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
What is the distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough?
Usually it is shown in diagrams as from where the variable passes across the zero line, but your way will give the same result. It is the length of one complete cycle that matters.
What happens when the trough of one wave meets the crest of another?
they annihilate each other
