Answer:

crest and trough

Explanation:

A wave is characterized by some elements, which are:

  • Crests: The highest points of a wave are the crests.
  • Valley: The lowest points of a wave form the valleys.
  • Amplitude: The distance from the position of the resting wave to a crest or a valley.
  • Wavelength: is the distance between two successive ridges or two successive valleys.
  • Period: This is the time taken to produce a complete oscillation (one cycle), that is, the time when the source generates one up and one down cycle.
  • Frequency: number of complete oscillations (cycles) generated per unit of time (minutes, seconds, etc.)
