Wave features Flashcards
Amplitude
Of a wave is its maximum disturbance from its disturbed position
Wavelength
The distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave it is often easiest to measure this through the truck one of the waves to the truck of the next wave of all from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave
Frequency
The frequency of a wave is the number of ways produced by source each second it is also the number of waves that pauses a certain point each second the unit of frequency is hertz
The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the equation
Frequency equals number of waves to pass a point over time taken in seconds
Wavefront
A service that we draw to present the vibrating part of a wave if you draw a semi circular sound wave spreading out the semicircle lines all the way from the distance between two wavefronts is one wavelength
Wave speed equation
Wave speed equals frequency times wavelength
Frequency of a wave can also be calculated using this equation
Frequency equals one overtime period F equals one over T example a soundwave has a period of 0.0001 seconds what is six frequency? You do one over 000 one over one is 10,000
