Wave Parameters KC
Covers N5 Wave Parameters and behaviour
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Define period | the time it takes one wave to pass a point |
Define frequency | number of waves per second |
Define transverse wave | particles move at right angles to the direction the wave is travelling |
Define longitudinal wave | longitudinal wave particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave is travelling |
Define diffraction | bending of waves around corners of an obstacle |
Note down all 4 main formulae in wave parameters | d=vt v=fλ T=1f f=Nt |
Draw a transverse wave diagram VS a longitudinal wave diagram |
