A collapsing wave is often referred to as a wave function collapse or quantum collapse in the context of quantum mechanics. It describes the phenomenon where a system transitions from a superposition of multiple states to a single definite state upon measurement or observation.
Waves break when they reach shallow water, causing the top of the wave to move faster than the bottom. This difference in speed leads to the wave breaking and collapsing onto itself. Factors such as underwater topography, wave height, and wave steepness can also affect when waves break.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Electromagnetic wave.
The crest of a wave is also known as the peak or the top of the wave.
This is called a breaking wave also known as a breaker.

A sonic boom is a collapsing pressure wave, and may be measured in pounds per square inch of pressure.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
As an ocean wave approaches the shallow water near a shoreline, it begins to lose energy because of friction with the ocean bottom. This causes the wave to slow down. As the wave becomes shallower, incoming wave crests gradually catch up with the slower wave crests ahead resulting in a wavelength that decreases from crest-to-crest. The incoming wave becomes higher, steeper, and unstable, and their crests collapse forward. Breakers, as seen in the picture, are collapsing waves. The motion of wave crests also influences the formation of a breaker. Breakers are less affected by friction than wave troughs and thus overrun the troughs. The collapsing crests of breakers moving at high speeds toward shore play a major role in shaping shorelines.
Collapsing is the correct spelling, yes.Some example sentences are:The shelf ended up collapsing an hour later.You need to stop collapsing on me.They worked hard to stop the tower from collapsing.
Electromagnetic wave.

Collapsing Opposites was created in 2002.
