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
