PhysicsWaves and SoundGCSEEdexcel Created by: RebeccaCreated on: 31-03-14 16:47 WAVELENGTH The distance from one peak to the next peak. 1 of 10 FREQUENCY How many complete waves there are per second (measured in Hertz) 2 of 10 AMPLITUDE The heigh of the wave from the mid-line to the peak. 3 of 10 SPEED EQUATIONS Speed= Frequency x Wavelength OR Speed= Distance/ Time 4 of 10 TRANSVERSE WAVES The vibrations are at 90° to the direction of travel. 5 of 10 EXAMPLES OF TRANVERSE WAVES All waves on the electromagnetic spectrum including light and S-Waves. 6 of 10 LONGITUDINAL WAVES The vibrations are along the same direction as the wave is travelling. 7 of 10 EXAMPLES OF LONGITUDINAL WAVES Sound, ultrasound and P-Waves. 8 of 10 What do waves do? Waves transfer energy and information without transferring matter. 9 of 10 OSCILLOSCOPES Always show things as tranverse waves- even sound 10 of 10
