waves

definition of a wave

• A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

• A disturbance in electric and magnetic fields; they are transverse waves

• A measure of how far the particles in the medium move away from their normal rest position

• The speed at which a wave travels which depends on the properties of the medium

definition of Frequency

• The time required for one cycle; you measure the period by finding the time for one full cycle of a wave to pass a given point

• The number wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time

• A wave in which particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels, or parallel to the wave

• The part of a longitudinal wave where particles are crowded together

definition of Longitudinal wave

• A measure of how far the particles in the medium move away from their normal rest position

• A kind of wave formed when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine

• A wave in which particles move perpendicular to the direction that the way travels.

• A wave in which particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels, or parallel to the wave
