P6 - longitudinal and transverse waves

What does a wave do

Waves transfer energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

What is a wavelength

The distance between the same point on two adjacent waves

What is an amplitude

The maximum displacement of a point on the wave from the equilibrium position

What is the time period

The time period is the time it takes for one entire oscillation of a wave.

What is the equation for frequency?

T = 1/F

Where t is time in seconds and f is the frequency in Hz

what is the formula for wave speed?

v=fλ

Where V is wavespeed (m/s) f is frequency and lamda is the wavelength(m)

What wave is it if the oscillations are perpendicular?

Transverse wave

what wave is it if the oscillations are parallel?

Longitudinal wave
