The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough.
Q. What are the parts of waves?
Wave: The repeating and periodic disturbance that travels through a medium (e.g. water) from one location to another location. Wave Crest: The highest part of a wave. Wave Trough: The lowest part of a wave. Wave Height: The vertical distance between the wave trough and the wave crest.
Q. What is the highest point of a wave called chemistry?
crest
Q. Which wave carries the most energy?
Gamma rays
Q. What EM wave is the most harmful?
The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them.
Q. Which of the following correctly lists electromagnetic waves in order from greatest to least amount of energy?
In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.
Q. What are the two similarities of all electromagnetic waves?
They all have things in common. In a vacuum, they all travel at the same speed – the speed of light – which is 3 × 108 m/s. They are all transverse waves, with the oscillations being electric and magnetic fields. Like all waves, they can be reflected, refracted and diffracted.
Q. Which wave travels fastest?
P-waves
Q. What is the fastest wave physics?
Einstein’s theory of special relativity sets the absolute speed limit at which a wave can travel which is the speed of light, and is equal to about 300,000 km per second.
Q. What is velocity in a wave?
Wave velocity, distance traversed by a periodic, or cyclic, motion per unit time (in any direction). The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
Q. What is a speed wave?
Summary. Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time, such as the number of meters it travels per second. Wave speed is related to wavelength and wave frequency by the equation: Speed = Wavelength x Frequency.
Q. What do you call the height of a wave?
wave is a called the crest, and the low point is called the trough. The distance between successive crests or troughs is called the wavelength. The height of a wave is the amplitude.…
