If you are referring to a sine wave, a crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so it is the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.

The difference between one point of a wave and another point is the phase difference, which reflects how much the wave has shifted in terms of position or time. This phase difference determines whether the points are in phase (crest aligns with crest or trough with trough), out of phase (crest aligns with trough), or somewhere in between.
The horizontal distance between the crest or trough of two successive waves is called the wavelength. It is the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
The measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough is called the wavelength. It represents the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other on a wave.
The vertical distance between a crest and a trough of a wave is the amplitude of the wave, which represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position. It is measured from the midpoint between the crest and trough to the highest point of the crest or the lowest point of the trough.
The distance between the crest of consecutive waves is called the wavelength. It is measured as the distance between two successive points in the same phase of a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Distance between a trough and crest in a wave is half wavelength
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
wave height. -- The highest point of a wave is known as its crest while the trough is the lowest point of the wave. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs. by: Claire O.
wavelength - distance between waves (eg crest to crest or trough to trough)
The distance between the crest of consecutive waves is called the wavelength. It is measured as the distance between two successive points in the same phase of a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
No, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest or trough to trough of a wave. It represents the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase along a wave.
No, the wavelength of a wave is measured from crest to crest (or trough to trough) because it represents the distance between two successive points of the same phase on a wave.
The height of a wave is measured from the center of the wave (the equilibrium position) to the crest or trough of the wave. It is half the distance between the crest and trough of the wave.
