Transverse Wave
A wave where particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
2
New cards
Longitudinal Wave
A wave where particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
3
New cards
Wavelength (λ)
The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave.
4
New cards
Frequency (f)
The number of oscillations or cycles per unit time.
5
New cards
Time Period (T)
Time taken for one full cycle of a wave.
6
New cards
Wave Speed (v)
Speed at which a wave travels through a medium; given by v = fλ = λ/T.
7
New cards
