Wave Properties
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Which way do the particles oscillate in a transverse wave?Perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
- 2Which way do the particles oscillate in a longitudinal wave?Parallel to the direction of energy transfer
- 3Give an example of a transverse waveElectromagnetic waves
- 4Give an example of a longitudinal waveSound waves
- 5Define displacement of a waveThe distance from the equilibrium position
- 6Define amplitudeMaximum displacement from the equilibrium position
- 7Define wavelengthMinimum distance between two points in phase on adjacent waves
- 8Define periodThe time taken for the wave to move one wavelength past a time
- 9Define frequencyNumber of wavelengths passing a point per unit time
