What is amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period of a wave?
Amplitude: Height of a wave from the equilibrium position. Wavelength: Distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase.
Frequency: Number of complete wave cycles passing a point in one second.
Period: Time taken for one complete wave cycle.
Describe the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves:
Transverse waves are waves that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
Longitudinal waves are a wave that moves in the same direction as the direction in which the particles are vibrating
Write down the equation that links wave speed, frequency and wavelength
