Question

What measures the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave?

A. a crest
B. a trough
C. the amplitude
D. the wavelength

Answer 1

Answer A is incorrect

A crest is just one point. It is not the distance between 2 crests.

B is incorrect

A trough is just 1 point. It is not the distance between 2 troughs.

C is incorrect.

the amplitude measures the height of a crest from the middle of the wave to the crest (or trough).

D is the correct answer. That is the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs
