Waves🌊

• Oscillations in a transverse wave are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
• Mechanical waves require A medium (Solid,Liquid or Gas) in order to travel.
• Frequency is the number of wave cycles. Every second
• Period(s) = 1/frequency(Hz)

  
• A) Peak

  B) Wavelength

  C) Trough

  D) Amplitude

  E) Rest Position

  
• A) Rarefraction

  B) Compression

  
• Waves are caused by vibrations or oscillations.
• Examples of Logitudinal Waves: Sound waves.

  
• Waves transfer energy.
• Wave Speed(m/s) = Frequency(Hz) x Wavelength( metres)

  
• Period = The amount of time it takes for a wave to finish.

  
• In waves, energy is being transferred not matter.
• Examples of Transverse waves: Water wave, electromagnetic waves
