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.

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.).


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.

Is the wavelength the distance from the crest to trough?

The peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance from the trough to the crest. The wavelength is the distance from one crest to the next crest.
