Question
Transverse waves have ________.
- Crest
- Trough
- Rarefaction
- Both a and b
Hint:
Transverse waves have crests and troughs
The correct answer is: Both a and b
The crest of a wave is the highest point that it reaches, while the trough of the wave is the lowest point. These are respectively the maximum and minimum amplitudes, or displacement of the wave.
