Front

What is Wave Period?

Back

The time required for corresponding points on consecutive waves to pass a given point.

Front

What is a Mechanical Wave?

Back

A wave that requires a medium through which to travel.

Front

What is Voltage?

Front

What is a Transverse Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is a Longitudinal Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is Frequency in relation to waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).
