PhysicsWavesGCSEEdexcel Created by: AnnableCreated on: 05-07-16 17:40 Equation for - speed, frequency and wave length wave speed = frequency * wave length 1 of 8 Equation for - speed, distance and time wave speed = distance / time 2 of 8 What is a longitudinal wave? sound waves and P waves, when the sound particals in a material move back and forth along in the same direction that the sound is travelling. 3 of 8 What is a transverse wave? Waves on a water surface, elecromagnetic waves and S waves. The particales of water move in a right angle to the direction the wave is travelling. 4 of 8 Frequency The number of waves passing a point each second. (Hz) 5 of 8 Speed (m/s) 6 of 8 Wavelength The distance between the top/ bottom of two waves. 7 of 8 Amplitude The maximum disturbance from its undisturbed position. 8 of 8
