Detailed Solution

The above statement is false
No, a longitudinal wave doesn’t consist of crests and troughs. The longitudinal wave is known as a pressure wave. And this wave is also known as a pressure wave, and in this wave, the highest point is known as the crest, and the lowest point is known as the lowest point.
The correct statement would be, that the longitudinal wave consists of compression and rarefaction and it is the transverse wave that consists of the crest and through.
