- 1what is a wavea regular disturbance which carries energy
- 2what is transverse wavesthe particles of a medium travel at
right-angles to the direction of energy transfer - 3examples of transverse waveswater, light, radio, television waves
- 4what is a longitudinal wavesthe particles of a medium travel in the direction of energy transfer
- 5example of longitudinal wavessound waves
- 6what is frequency and its symbolthe amount of waves to pass a point each second (f)
- 7what is frequency measured inhertz (Hz)
- 8what is wavelength and its symbolthe distance from one point of a wave to the same point on the next wave (λ)
- 9what is wavelength measured inmeters (m)
- 10what is speed/velocity and its symboldistance travelled by a wave each second (m/s)
- 11what is speed measured inmeters per second (m/s)
- 12what is amplitudesize of maximum disturbance from the zero point
- 13what is period and its symboltime taken for a wave to pass a point (T)
- 14what is period measured inseconds (s)
- 15what is diffractionthe ability of waves to bend round corners
- 16what wavelength diffracts morewaves with a long wavelength
