Question

label the parts of the waves.

Explanation:

1. Identify the central line of the wave, which is the rest position.
2. Identify the highest point of the wave curve.
3. Identify the lowest point of the wave curve.
4. Identify the distance between two consecutive identical points (peaks) on the wave.
5. Identify the distance between two consecutive identical points (troughs) on the wave, same as peak-to-peak for wavelength.
6. Identify the distance from the central line to a peak (or trough) of the wave.
7. Identify the compressed regions of the longitudinal spring wave.
8. Identify the stretched, spaced-out regions of the longitudinal spring wave.

Answer:

1. Rest Position/Equilibrium Line
2. Crest (Wave Peak)
3. Trough (Wave Valley)
4. Wavelength (Peak-to-Peak)
5. Wavelength (Trough-to-Trough)
6. Amplitude
7. Compression
8. Rarefaction
