I WONDER - What Is The Crest Of A Wave?

The video tutorial explains the key features of waves, including the Crest, trough, wavelength, and amplitude. It describes how the wavelength is measured between identical points on consecutive waves and how amplitude is the height from the wave's midpoint to the Crest. The tutorial also highlights that amplitude is a measure of a wave's energy, with higher amplitudes indicating more energy, which is why louder sounds have higher amplitudes.

What is the highest point of a wave called?

• Trough

• Crest

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

Which term describes the lowest point of a wave?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Trough

• Crest

What is the term for the distance between two identical points on consecutive waves?

• Crest

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Amplitude

How is amplitude defined in relation to a wave?

• The speed of the wave

• The distance between two crests

• The height from the midpoint to the crest

• The lowest point of a wave

What does a higher amplitude indicate about a wave's energy?

• The wave has less energy

• The wave is slower

• The wave carries more energy

• The wave is quieter
