- Wave Properties
- Displacement- how far a point on a wave has moved from its undisturbed position.
- Amplitude- maximum displacement.
- Velocity- how long it takes for a certain point on the wave to move across a distance of one wavelength.
- Wavelength- the length of one whole wave.
- Velocity = wavelength x frequency
- Velocity- how long it takes for a certain point on the wave to move across a distance of one wavelength.
- Velocity = wavelength x frequency
- Period- the time taken for a whole vibration.
- Frequency- the number of vibrations per second passing a given point
- Velocity = wavelength x frequency
- Period = 1/frequency
- Period- the time taken for a whole vibration.
- Velocity = wavelength x frequency
- Reflection- the wave is bounced back when it hits a boundary.
- Refraction- the wave changes direction as it enters a different medium
