Waves 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWavesGCSEWJEC Created by: GeotpCreated on: 14-04-17 11:24 What is a longitudinal wave? Waves where the vibrations are in the same direction as the wave motion 1 of 7 What is a transverse wave? When the vibrations are at right angles to the wave motion 2 of 7 What is the difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves? Electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to travel through eg. light, mehcanical waves need a medium (particles) 3 of 7 What is amplitude? Height of a wave 4 of 7 What is wavelength? The length of one complete wave 5 of 7 What is the wave equation? Wavespeed=frequency x wavelength 6 of 7 What is the equation for frequency? Frequency=number of waves passed/time 7 of 7
