- 1Wave BasicsThe amplitude of a wave is the displacement from the rest position to the crest.
- 2Wave BasicsThe wavelength is the length of a full cycle of a wave (crest to crest)
- 3Wave BasicsFrequency is the number of complete waves passing a certain point per second. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).
- 4Traverse WavesThe oscillations are perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of energy transfer.
- 5—- EM Waves
- Waves on strings
- Slinky Spring - 6Longitudal WavesThe oscillations are parrallel to direction of energy transfer.
- 7—- Soundwaves
- Shockwaves
- 8Wave Speed= Frequency x Wavelength
