By counting the number of crests that pass by a given point in a set amount of time, what you would be calculating?

Sagot :

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

When we talk about crests, we are referring to the high points of a wave.

We measure wave frequency by counting out the the number of crests (or high points) of a given wave that pass by a given point in a set amount of time. Thus, the higher the number of crests, the greater the frequency of the wave and vice versa.

We define the frequency of a wave as the number of waves that passes by a fixed point within a given period of time.
