Resource summary
Section 3- Waves (Part 1)
Units
Wavelength= the distance from one peak to the next
Frequency= how many complete waves there are per second (F)
Amplitude= the height of the wave (rest to crest)
Speed (V for Velocity)= how fast the wave is going
Period= the time it takes for one wave to pass a certain point (T)
Waves
Transverse
The vibrations are at 90 degrees to the direction energy is transferred by the wave.
Light + EM waves are transverse
Slinky waving up and down
Waves on string
Ripples on water
Longitudinal
The vibrations are along the same direction as the wave transfers energy
Sound and ultrasound
Shock waves and some seismic waves
Slinks being pushed
Wave Speed= Frequency x Wavelength
Waves transfer energy and information without transferring matter
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
