| What is the Wave Speed Equation? | Wave Speeds = Frequency x Wavelength
[m/s] = [Hz] x [m] |
| What is the Wave Speed Equation? | Wave Speeds = Frequency x Wavelength
[m/s] = [Hz] x [m] |
| What happens when a Wave hits a Medium? | -The Particles of the Medium then Vibrate and Transfer Energy between Each other.
-Pretty much, Energy is Transferred |
| What is the Amplitude of a Wave? | -This is the Displacement [Distance] between the Rest Position to the Crest [Peak] |
| What is a Wavelength? | This is the Length of of a Full Cycle of that Wave [Crest - Crest] [Trough - Trough] |
| What is the Frequency? | -This is the Number of Complete Waves that pass a certain Point per Second
-This is measured Hertz [Hz] |
| What is the Period of a Wave? | Tis is the Number of Seconds it takes for a Full Cycle.
Period = 1/Frequency |
| What happens in a Transverse Wave? Where can it Travel on? | -All the Vibration are Perpendicular to the Wave's Direction.
-Picture a Straight Line, with Line going up at 90 degrees
-They can travel on the Surface of a Liquid, but can't go Through a Liquids |
| What Waves are Transverse Waves? | -All the Electromagnetic Waves
-S Waves
-Ripples and Waves in Water |
| Longitudinal Waves, what are they? | -Here, the Vibrations are Parallel to the Directions of the Wave
-They can Squash up and then Stretch out the Particles, which can make Compressions and Rarefactions |
| Examples of Longitudinal Waves? | -Sounds Waves
-P Waves |
| What is the Wave Speed Equation? | Wave Speeds = Frequency x Wavelength
[m/s] = [Hz] x [m] |
