What is wavelength
distance between the same points on two consecutive waves
What is the amplitude
distance from equilibrium line to the maximum displacement
What is frequency
The number of waves that pass a single point per second
What is frequency measured in
hertz
What is the period
The time taken for a whole wave to completely pass a single point
What is the wavefront
The plane in which the wave travels
What is 2 on the diagram
Wave trough
What is 4 on the diagram
Amplitude
What is 1 on the diagram
Wave crest
What is 3 on the diagram
wavelength
What is the formula for wavespeed
FREQUENCY X WAVELENGTH
What are transverse waves
the waves oscillations are right angles to the direction of the travel
name 3 examples of transverse waves
ripples on surface of water
EM waves
ocean waves
What are longitudinal waves
where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of travel
Name 3 examples of longitudinal waves
sound waves
ultrasound
spring vibration
