- 1Frequencyf
The number of complete waves passing a point in 1 second
Measured in : Hertz (Hz) - 2Wavelengthλ
The distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the adjacent wave
Measured in : Meters (m) - 3AmplitudeThe maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from the equilibrium point.
Measured in : Meters (m) - 4Time PeriodT
The time taken to complete one wavelength
Measured in : Seconds (s)
T = 1 ÷ frequency - 5HertzHz
A measure of frequency - 6Transverse WaveThe particles are vibrating at right angles to the direction of the energy transfer
- 7Longitudinal WaveThe particles are vibrating in parallel with the direction of the energy transfer
- 8CompressionWhen the particles are closer together in a longitudinal wave
- 9RarefactionWhen the particles are spread out in a longitudinal wave
