Waves Flashcards
1
Q
Wave speed (m/s) =
A
Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)
2
Q
Transverse waves
A
Vibrations are at 90 degrees
Can’t travel through liquids
3
Q
Longitudinal waves
A
Vibrations are parallel to the direction the wave travels
4
Q
Wavelength
A
Length of 1 wave from peak to peak
5
Q
Amplitude
A
Height of waves from equilibrium (the middle of the peak and the trough)
6
Q
Frequency
A
Number of waves per second
