Question

waves
label the parts of the waves.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7
8

Explanation:

1. The horizontal dashed line is the rest position (equilibrium) of the wave.
2. The highest point of the wave curve is the crest.
3. The lowest point of the wave curve is the trough.
4. The distance between two consecutive crests is the wavelength.
5. The distance between two consecutive troughs is also a wavelength.
6. The vertical distance from the rest position to a crest is the amplitude.
7. The tightly coiled sections of the spring are compressions.
8. The widely spaced sections of the spring are rarefactions.

Answer:

1. Rest Position
2. Crest
3. Trough
4. Wavelength
5. Wavelength
6. Amplitude
7. Compression
8. Rarefaction
