Wave Lesson

This is the "height" of a wave. Measured from the point of rest or the mid-line to either the crest or the trough.

This is the point that the material becomes less dense in a compression wave (the area opposite the compression).

What occurs when two crests from different waves meet?

• They get larger

• They get smaller

• They cancel each other out

• They pass with no change to either wave
