Waves

Waves

1. transmission of energy through a space

2. longitudinal

   • oscillations along same direction as direction of travel
     • oscillation = backwards and forwards

3. transverse

   • oscillations at a right angle to direction of travel
     • oscillations = up down

4. medium

   • material that which travels thru

5. electromagnetic

   • form of energy that can go through vacuum

6. microwave

   • short electromagnetic wave

7. equation

   • wavespeed
     • frequency x wavelength
       • wavelength = landa thing

8. wavelength

   • distance between peaks and troughs
     • from one wave to another
       • gotta be adjacent tho

9. wave stuff

   • peak
     • top point
   • trough
     • lowest point
   • amplitude
     • height of a wave

10. frequency

    • amount of waves passing a second
