Properties of Waves
There are 4 diferent properties of waves
- Amplitude
- Is the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
- Describes how far the medium in a wave moves
- The height of a wave's crest on its amplitude
- Describes how far the medium in a wave moves
- Is the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
- Wavelength
- Is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- Describes a wave's length
- To find the wavelength of a transverse wave, measure the distance from crest to crest
- For a longitutional wave, the wavelength is the distance between compressions
- To find the wavelength of a transverse wave, measure the distance from crest to crest
- Describes a wave's length
- Is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
- Frecuency
- Number of waves that happen in a certain amount of time
- Describes how often it occurs
- Is measured in Hertz
- Describes how often it occurs
- Number of waves that happen in a certain amount of time
- Speed
- Speed is how far a wave travels in a certain amount of time
- Different waves travel at different speeds
- Speed is how far a wave travels in a certain amount of time
- Amplitude
