Cards in this deck (10)
- 1Transverse Wave
- 2Longitudinal Wave
- 3Wave LengthThe wavelength of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave.
- 4Amplitude
- 5Crest or Peak
- 6Trough
- 7Rarefaction and Compression Longitudinal wave
- 8Frequency (Hz)The frequency of a wave is the number of waves produced by a source each second. It is also the number of waves that pass a certain point each second. The unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz).
- 9Energy TransferThe Energy Transfer is the direction the wave is travelling.
- 10Wave Triangle equation Speed = C Frequency = F Wavelength = λ (Lambda)
