waves

?
waves
movement of energy. waves can be described as an oscillation or vibration.
1 of 7
transverse wave
oscillation is 90* to the direction of movement
2 of 7
longitudinal wave
oscillation is parallel to the direction of movement
3 of 7
to find speed of wave:
speed of wave= frequency x wavelength
4 of 7
wavelength
distance from one peak to another
5 of 7
frequency
how many waves per second
6 of 7
amplitude
height of the wave(from the middle line to the peak)
