Transverse And Longditudinal Waves Flashcards
1
Q
Apmlitude
A
Maximum displacement from a point on the wave from its undisturbed position
2
Q
Wavelengths
A
Distance between the same point of 2 adjacent waves
3
Q
Frequency
A
Number of complete waves passing a point ps
4
Q
What way are the oscillations in transverse waves
A
Perpendicular to direction of energy transfer
E.g. All em waves
Ripples and waves in water
5
Q
What way are The oscillations in longitudinal waves
A
Parallel to energy transfer
E.g. Sound waves
Ultra sound
Shock waves
6
Q
Wave speed
A
Speed energy is being transferred
7
Q
Wavespeed equation
A
Frequency x wavelength
