Waves

Waves

1. Definition

   • disturbance
   • causing energy transfer from one point to the other
   • without actual movement of the particle

2. Amplitude

   • maximum displacement of the particle
   • from mean position
   • denoted letterA
   • SI unit m

3. Frequency

   • no. of periodic oscillations
   • in 1 sec

4. Time Period

   • time taken
   • to complete one oscillation

5. wavelength

   • distance between two consecutive pts.
     • of a wave
   • minimum distance required by a wave
     • to repeat itself

6. wave velocity

   • velocity in which energy of wave is created

7. Velocity: Rapidness in which motion is created
