--DO NOT NEED--

?

Medium

A medium is a substace or material a wave can pass through

1 of 6

Wavelength

A wavelelength is the distance between matching points on a wave. It is represented by the greek letter lambda (λ)

2 of 6

Frequency

Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a paricular point per second. The unit of measure for w waves frequency is Hertz

3 of 6

Longitudinal waves

Vibrate paralell to the direction the wave is travelling

4 of 6

Transverse waves

Vibrate perpendicular (at right angles) to the directon the wave is travelling

5 of 6

Wave Equation

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

V[m/s] = λ[m] x F[Hz or /s]
