Waves Flashcards
How are Radio Waves produced
Electrons moving through an antenna are resisted and cause electromagnetic waves to radiated outwards.
what is Velocity
Speed of the wave (Direction and magnitude)
Frequency
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in one second
Wavelength
Distance between two waves measured from the same points.
Period
The time to complete one cycle (two waves measured at the same point)
Amplitude
The maximum movement positive and negative to the mean
Longitudinal wave
The wave moves in the same direction as propogation Compression and refraction (Sound)
Longitudinal wave
Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of propagation. (waves on water)
What antenna has a vertical electrotonic polarization?
