Question

label each part of the wave with the correct term: wave diagram with boxes to label options: crest, wavelength, amplitude, trough

Explanation:

1. The topmost point of a wave is called the Crest, so the label pointing to the peak of the wave is Crest.
2. The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) is the Wavelength, so the label with the double - headed arrow between two crests is Wavelength.
3. The height from the equilibrium position (the dashed line) to the crest (or trough) is the Amplitude, so the label marked "G" (distance from equilibrium to trough/crest) is Amplitude.
4. The lowest point of a wave is called the Trough, so the label pointing to the bottom of the wave is Trough.

Answer:

• The top - most peak label: Crest
• The double - headed arrow label: Wavelength
• The label marked "G": Amplitude
• The bottom - most valley label: Trough
