Transverse and Longitudinal waves

• Amplitude of a wave -The maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its undisturbed position
• The wavelength - the distance between the same point on two adjacent waves (between the trough Of one wave and the trough Of the wave next to it )
• Frequency - the number Of complete waves passing a cer tain point per second
• transverse waves:

  • Sideways Vibrations
  • All electromagnetic waves
  • up and down vibrations
• Longitudinal waves

  • parallel vibrations
  • sound waves in air
