The bottom of a wave is called what?
A
Crest
B
Trough
C
Current
D
Tide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough. The wave height is the overall vertical change in height between the crest and the trough and distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave or wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -The highest surface part of a wave is called the crest, and the lowest part is the trough. The vertical distance between the crest and the trough is the wave height.

Detailed explanation-3: -features of waves … low point is called the trough. For longitudinal waves, the compressions and rarefactions are analogous to the crests and troughs of transverse waves. The distance between successive crests or troughs is called the wavelength.

Detailed explanation-4: -The depth of the troughs of a wave is called its amplitude Solve any question of Waves with:-Patterns of problems. >

Detailed explanation-5: -Trough-The lowest part of a transverse wave.
