transverse waves

Define wave

• the number of times an event repeats in a given time.

• unit of measurement for frequency 1 HZ is equal to 1 cycle per second.

• a disturbance that repeats in space and time AND that transmits energy from one place to another with no transfer of matter.

• a type of wave that travels perpendicular to the particle motion.

Define hertz

• the number of times an event repeats in a given time.

• unit of measurement for frequency 1 HZ is equal to 1 cycle per second.

• a disturbance that repeats in space and time AND that transmits energy from one place to another with no transfer of matter.

• a type of wave that travels perpendicular to the particle motion.
