WAVES
What are the three types of waves?
light, sound and ocean
What do all waves do?
they all vibrate
What is a Transverse wave?
A Transverse wave is a wave that is vibration’s perpendicular to the direction of the wave
What is a Longitudinal wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave which has the vibration’s parallel to the direction of the wave
What is the Amplitude of a wave?
The Amplitude of as wave is the distance from the peak to the middle of the wave
What are the three types of waves?
Water, light and sound waves
What do all waves do?
They all vibrate
What is a Transverse wave?
A Transverse wave is a wave’s vibration that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave
What is a Longitudinal wave?
A Longitudinal wave is a wave’s vibration that is parallel to the direction of the wave
What is the Amplitude of a wave?
Amplitude is the distance of the wave from the top to the middle
What is the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is the length of a wave
What is the frequency of a wave?
The number of times it occurs in a second- Also called Hertz per second
Name the equation of the speed of a wave.
speed=frquencyxwavelength
