Answer:
Peaks
Explanation:
- A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave
In a transverse wave, the highest and the lowest points of the wave are determined by the presence of crests (peaks) and troughs. On the contrary, in a longitudinal wave, the wave consists of alternating regions of higher particle density (called compressions) and of lower particle density (called rarefactions).
Therefore, the correct answer is
peaks
