Waves

Waves

1. Types of Waves

   • Mechanical: Require Medium
   • Electomagnetic: Doesn't need a medium
   • Pulse Wave: no periodic distance
   • Periodic Wave: it has periodic oscillation
   • Longitudinal Wave: moves left to right
   • Transverse Wave: Moves up and down

2. Components

   • Peak Crest:Highest point in a wave
   • Trought: bottom of wave
   • Wavelength: length of the wave
   • Amplitude: How far the waves from the center line
   • Frequency: Times per second the wave cycles
   • Equilibrium Line: Line in the middle

3. Interference

   • Destructive: waves meet in the bottom
   • Constructive: Waves join its amplitude

4. Formula

   • Energy: E=1/2KA^2
   • Speed: V=fA

5. Electromagnetical

   • Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, X-rays, Gamma Rays

6. Mechanical

   • transverse waves, longitudinal waves, surface waves
