(a) Explain the terms 'crests' and 'troughs of a wave? What type of waves consist of crests and troughs? (b) The flash of a gun is seen by man 3 seconds before the sound is heard. Calculate the distance of the gun from the man (Speed of sound in air is 332 m/s).
a). Crests are the maximum peaks in transverse waves are called crests.
Troughs are the maximum depths or valleys in transverse waves are called troughs.
b). Here speed of the sound $=332\ m/s$
Time taken $=3\ s$
Therefore, distance of the man from the gun $=speed\times time$
$=332\ m/s\times3\ s$
$=996\ m$
