Waves Learning Outcomes Flashcards
LO1 what do waves transfer?
Energy
LO2 what is the rule regarding a waves amplitude and energy?
The greater the amplitude of a wave the greater it’s energy
LO3 what is a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate at right angles to the direction of energy transfer
LO3 what is a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer
