wave unlock Flashcards
is a rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter and space.; carries energy from one place to another. Waves are a form of energy.
wave
distance of a “repeating unit”, also called a cycle; measures how long a wave is
wavelength
measures DISPLACEMENT (height of a wave) size of the disturbance; distance between “rest & crest” or “rest & trough”
Amplitude
Vibration is circular
Surface wave
Vibration is in the same direction
Longitudinal wave
Vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave, the vibration is at 90 degrees to the wave pulse
Transverse wave
wave that we make.
Mechanical wave
the wave move from a electrical.
Electromagnetic wave
bottom or the lowest of any point
Trough
peak” or top of a wave
Crest
how fast the wave travels (velocity); measured by multiplying the wavelength by the wave frequency
Speed
How often the number of wavelengths that pass any point per second
number of wavelength
Frequency
matter such as solid, liquid, or gas and is what a wave is carried by
