Waves

Waves

1. Amplitude

   • Displacment from rest to

2. Amplitude

   • Displacmet from rest position to crest

3. Wavelength

   • Lenght of a full cycle of wave e.g from crest to crest

4. Frequency

   • Number of waves produced by a source each second
   • Number of complete waves passing a certain point per second
   • 1Hz= 1 waves per second
   • Hertz= Hz

5. Tranverse

   • Light and all other EM waves
   • Slinky spring
   • Vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer of the wave
   • Ripples on water
   • Vibrations from side to side

6. Longitudinal

   • Sound waves
