In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
A crest in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest points of displacement in their respective wave types.
The top of a sound wave is called the crest. It corresponds to the point where the amplitude of the wave is highest.
The letter "B" corresponds to the trough of the wave.
The letter A is labeling the wave's crest.

The top of a sound wave is called the crest. It corresponds to the point where the amplitude of the wave is highest.
The letter "B" corresponds to the trough of the wave.
The crest of a transverse wave corresponds to the compression region in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest point of displacement or disturbance in their respective wave types.
The letter A is labeling the wave's crest.
The letter "A" typically corresponds to the amplitude of a wave. Amplitude represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position.
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
The compression in a longitudinal wave can be thought of as the regions where the particles are closest together, which corresponds to the crest of the wave. This is where the wave is most compacted and has the highest density of particles.
The crest.
The distance from one wave crest to the next crest is called the wavelength of the wave.
