Write true or false for the following statement: The distance between a crest and the next trough in a wave motion is $\lambda / 4$.
(FALSE) The statement is False.
In a wave motion,the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is equal to the wavelength,denoted by $\lambda$.
The distance from a crest to the immediately following trough represents half of a wavelength,which is $\lambda / 2$.
