WHICH PART OF THE WAVE?

Point on a wave where the upward

displacement is at its maximum.

CREST
 WHICH PART OF THE WAVE?

Point on a wave where the downward

displacement is at its maximum.

TROUGH
 WHICH PART OF THE WAVE?

The distance from the center line (or the still

position) to the top of a crest or to the bottom
of a trough.

AMPLITUDE
 WHICH PART OF THE WAVE?

The number of waves that pass a fixed place in

each amount of time

FREQUENCY
 WHICH PART OF THE WAVE?

The distance between corresponding points of

two consecutive waves or two successive crests
or troughs of a wave.

WAVELENGTH
 ELECTROMAGNETIC

These are transverse oscillating waves

composed of electric and magnetic fields.

In an EM wave, the electric field is

perpendicular to the magnetic field.
