- P6
- Transverse
- oscillations perpendicular to direction of energy
- Longitudinal
- parallel to direction
- waves transfer energy, not matter
- measurement
- amplitude= rest position to peak/trough
- wavelength= crest to crest/trough to trough
- frequency= waves per second
- period= 1/frequency
- speed = frequency * wavelength
- Refraction
- absorption, reflection, transmission
- waves are faster in some materials, light bends
- Reflection
- angle of incident = angle of reflection
- specular (smooth), diffusion (rough)
- Transverse
