first q science waves
Question | Answer |
---|---|
highest and lowest points of a transverse wave | crest and troughs |
the shortest distance between any two points in a wave | wavelength |
is the maximum displacement from the middle line to the bottom/trough of a wave | amplitude |
the time taken for one point on a wave to complete one oscaillation | period (t) |
the number of complete waves produced per second | frequency (f) |
in a time of one period, a crest on a transverse rope wave will have moved a distance of one wavelength | wave speed (λ) |
the messurment used for frequency | hertz |
the direction of wave motion is parrallel to the direction of vibration | longitutal waves |
the direction of wave motion is perpendicular to the direction of vibration | transverse |
