Waves
what are waves- energy transfer
- Transverse move perpendicular to direction of travel
- high point=crest
- low point= trough
- longitudinal travels parallel to direction of wave
- compression
- rarefaction
- caused by vibration
- all waves except light require a medium
- Transverse move perpendicular to direction of travel
Properties
- amplitude
- maximum distance the particles of the medium carry the wave from the rest position
- wavelength
- frequency
- speed
- speed is the wavelength times the frequency
- amplitude
