Waves

Waves

1. Types of Waves

   • Transverse waves: Energy transfer is perpendicular to particle motion
   • Longitudal waves: Energy transfer is parralell to particle motion

2. Parts of the wave

   • Wavelength: distance from top of one wave to top of the other wave
   • Amplitude: Distance from top of wave to middle or middle to bottom.

3. Frequency and Time period

   • Frequency is the amount of oscillations per second in Hertz (Hz)
   • Time period: the time it takes to make one oscillation

4. Refraction
