Mechanical Waves - created from Mind Map

LONGITUDNAL

Representation of the vibration of particles

Frequency is the number of waves per unit time

Amplitude is the loudness of the wave measured using the height

Wavelength can be measured by

Jamming

Refraction of waves

TRANSVERSE

Move along the particles

Move perpendicular to the particles of the source of energy

Frequency and wave length are inversely propotional

Distance between crests Distance between trough Distance between two bases

Intention

Interference

Same frequency to intercept

Same frequency crossing over each other
