The crest of a wave is related to the concept of longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Rarefaction, on the other hand, refers to the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread out.

What is the distance from crest to crest in a sound wave called?
The distance from crest to crest in a sound wave is called the wavelength. It represents the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave.
What does a rarefraction mean?
A rarefaction is a decrease in density or pressure in a medium, typically related to the spreading out of waves. In the context of sound waves, rarefaction is the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are farther apart.
What is it call if you measure from a crest to crest?
The distance from crest to crest in a wave is called the wavelength.
What is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest on the next wave?
The distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave is called the wavelength. It is typically measured from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
The spot with the highest crest or compression is produced through what interference?
Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
What does rarefraction mean?
The spreading of molecules of sound. :)
What does the Kizer family crest look like?
For information about a Kizer family crest see the Related Link, below.
Was there a STIDHAM family crest?
See the related link for an image of what one website says was the Stidham family crest.
What is a region increased pressure in a longitudinal wave?
rarefraction
What are the top and bottom of wavelengths?
The trough is the bottom and the crest is the top. The whole vertical length of the crest, trough, and crest are called a wavelength. See related link for a diagram.
What is the distance from crest to crest in a sound wave called?
The distance from crest to crest in a sound wave is called the wavelength. It represents the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave.
