Waves Flashcards
1
Q
What is a transverse wave?
A
In transverse waves the vibrations are perpendicular (at 90 degrees) go the direction of energy transfer of the wave.
2
Q
What is a longitudinal wave?
A
In longitudinal waves the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer of the wave.
3
Q
What is the calculation of wavelengths?
A
Speed = Frequency x Wavelength Or v = f x lambda
S=m/s
F=Hz
W=m
