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 crest height of the wave is 0.81–1.47 times the significant wave height of the same 30-min data and the most extreme wave height is 1.46–1.83 times the significant wave height. The crest height distribution agrees with the Weibull distribution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The crest of a wave is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position.
Detailed explanation-4: -The distance between successive crests or troughs is called the wavelength. The height of a wave is the amplitude.…
Detailed explanation-5: -Wave height is the vertical distance between the crest (peak) and the trough of a wave.
