Explanation :

In transverse waves the particles are oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves.

The uppermost part of the wave is crests and the lowermost part is troughs.

Wavelength of a transverse wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Amplitude is the maximum distance or displacement covered by a wave.

So, crest, amplitude, trough and wavelength identifies the parts of a transverse wave.
