6. Define Amplitude
- The oscillations are at right angle to the direction of travel.
- The distance in metres (m) travelled by the wave in one second.
- It's the maximum displacement from its equilibrium position.
- An area on a longitudinal wave where particles are furtherest apart.
7. Define Compression
- An area on a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together.
- The oscillations are at right angles to the direction of travel.
- It's the maximum displacement from its equilibrium position.
- An area on a longitudinal wave where particles are furtherest apart.
8. Define Rarefaction
- The oscillations are at right angle to the direction of travel.
- An area on a longitudinal wave where particles are furtherest apart.
- An area on a longitudinal wave where particles are closest together.
- The number of waves produced in one second(s) or the number of waves that pass a point each second.
9. Define Longitudinal Wave
- It's the maximum displacement from its equilibrium position.
- The oscillations are parallel to the direction of travel.
- A regular repetitive motions
- The oscillations are at right angle to the direction of travel.
10. Define Wavelength
- A regular repetitive motions
- An area on a longitudinal wave where particles are furtherest apart.
- The distance between two adjacent points on a wave that have the same amplitude and are moving in the same direction.
- It's the maximum displacement from its equilibrium position.
11. Define Wavespeed
- The distance in metres (m) travelled by the wave in one second.
- The number of waves produced in one second(s) or the number of waves that pass a point each second.
- The oscillations are at right angle to the direction of travel.
- The period of wave, vibration or oscillation is the time required to complete a full cycle. T = 1/f
