Use the pictures below to answer the question and label the parts of the waves. Label the following parts on the wave diagram: Crest, Trough, Wavelength, Amplitude.

• Crest: The highest point of the wave Trough: The lowest point of the wave Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs Amplitude: The height from the center line to the crest or trough

• Crest: The lowest point of the wave Trough: The highest point of the wave Wavelength: The height from the center line to the crest Amplitude: The distance between two consecutive troughs

• Crest: The midpoint of the wave Trough: The midpoint of the wave Wavelength: The distance from crest to trough Amplitude: The distance between two crests

• Crest: The end of the wave Trough: The start of the wave Wavelength: The distance from the start to the end of the wave Amplitude: The total height of the wave
