Waves and Wave Properties Why are we able to see? Answer: Because there is light. And…what is light? Answer: Light is a wave. So…what is a wave? Answer: A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from place to place. A wave does NOT carry matter with it! It just moves the ...
Crest and Trough These two properties are actually opposites of each other. The crest is the highest point of the wave. The trough is the lowest point of the wave. Every complete wave cycle has one crest and one trough. When looking at an ocean wave, it is easy to spot the crest, ...
