A
2
Q
Define displacement and amplitude
A
3
Q
Draw a displacement-position/time graph and label it
A
4
Q
Define progressive and standing waves
A
Progressive waves - an oscillation that travels through matter, transferring energy from one place to another without transferring matter
Standing waves - made by the superposition of two waves of same frequency and amplitude travelling in opposite directions
