the lowest point is the trough .:)
Count the number of waves passing a point in one second. That is frequency. Or count waves for 10 seconds and divide by 10.

A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a graph.
The extreme point is called a vertex.
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
trough
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
You can measure it from crest to crest (highest point of a wave), trough to trough (lowest point of a wave), or from normal to normal.
the lowest is a trough and the highest is a crest.
Trough.
True, the peak is the crest and the lowest is the trough.
In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)
The high point in a transverse wave is called the 'crest'. if you need more help, the 'trough' is the low point.
To measure the amplitude of a transverse wave, you measure the the maximum displacement of a point in the wave's medium relative to the medium's resting position. The more energy the wave has, th more the medium will be displaced. D
It's called a compression, and the point of lowest density is called a rarefraction. This logic also applies to transverse waves.
