The highest point of a transverse wave is called the
Trough
Crest
Wavelength
Amplitude
The lowest point in a transverse wave is called the
Trough
Crest
Wavelength
Amplitude
The formula that relates frequency, speed, and wavelength is:
frequency = speed x wavelength
wavelength = speed x frequency
speed = wavelength x frequency
speed = wavelength/frequency
What 3 factors affect the speed of a wave?
Frequency
Medium
Air
Pressure
Temperature
How is a longitudinal wave different from a transverse wave?
Transverse Waves move vertically, and Longitudinal waves compress and refract horizontally.
Longitudinal Waves move vertically, and Transverse waves compress and refract horizontally.
Longitudinal Waves change to Transverse Waves as they speed up.
Transverse Waves travel through only air and Longitudinal Waves travel only through water.
