Waves Flashcards
1
Q
Transverse Wave
A
In a Transverse Wave, the oscilliations are Pependicular to the direction of the wave travel. An example of this is a Beach River because of the massive waves
2
Q
Longtudinal Wave
A
In a Longtudinal Wave, the oscilliations are parallel to directions of the wave travel. An example of this is sound so when you listen to your music on a speaker
3
Q
Wavelength
A
Wavelength is the the distance along one full wave cycle it is measured in Metres
4
Q
Frequency
A
Frequency is the number of waves that pass every second it is measured in Hertz
5
Q
Amplitude
A
Amplitude is the height of the wave above the equilibrium line
6
Q
V = F x W
A
Speed = Frequency x Wavelength
