Longitudinal and Transverse

Question 1

What do waves do?

Answer 1

They transfer energy from one place to another without transferring any matter

Question 2

Difference between wavelength and time period

Answer 2

Wavelength is calculated on Displacement-Distance Graphs
Time period is calculated on Displacement-Time Graphs

Question 3

What is frequency and formula with time period

Answer 3

Number of complete oscillations per second
Frequency (Hz) = 1 / Time Period

Question 4

Wave speed formula

Answer 4

v (Wave Speed) = Frequency x Wavelength

Question 5

Transverse waves characteristics

Answer 5

The oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
Crests and Troughs
