1
New cards

waves

vibrations or oscilations that move energy fromone place to another, waves transfer energy and matteris not transferred

2
New cards

Transverse

particles in the medium vibrate PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the waves moves

3
New cards

Longtitudal

Particles in the medium vibrate PARALLEL to the direction the waves move

4
New cards

Amplitude

How far it is from the resting position (Maximum displacement) of a point on a wave away from equilibrium, showing how intense the wave is

5
New cards

Wavelength

distance from a point on one wave to the equivilant point on the adjacent wave λ= (v) wave velocity OVER (f) wave frequency

6
New cards

Frequency

(Hz) Number of waves passing a particular point every second f= 1 OVER (T) period

7
New cards

Period

Amount of time taken for a single wave to pass a particular point T= 1 OVER (f) Frequency

8
New cards

Velocity

How far the wave travels and how long it takes V= λxf OR V= λ OVER (T) period
