- 4Name two types of wavesLongitude and Transverse
- 5What is a transverse wave?A wave in which the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of travel and energy transfer
- 6What is a longitudinal wave?A wave in which the vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel and energy transfer.
- 7How do you measure the wavelength?Wavelength- from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave
- 8How do you measure the amplitude?Amplitude- from the middle of the wave to the top of the way
