Wave Properties Flashcards
1
Q
How are longitudinal waves produced
A
When the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy
2
Q
How are transverse waves produced
A
When the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of energy
3
Q
What is the wave equation
A
Wave speed (M/S) =. Frequency (HZ) X wavelengths (M)
4
Q
What do you always transfer
A
Energy
5
Q
What is diffraction of waves
A
Diffraction of waves occur when waves interact with a gap or object. It is the spreading out of a wave and depends on wave length. The greater the wave length, the greater the diffraction
