- 15.5: Waves
The student knows the characteristics and behavior of waves. The student is expected to: (B) investigate and analyze the characteristics of waves, including velocity, frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, and calculate using the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength;
Key points: A wave is a repeating disturbance that travels through matter or space transferring only energy. Below is a model of a wave. A wave’s crest is its highest point, and its trough is its lowest point. A wave’s amplitude is the maximum distance (positive or negative) a wave reaches from its rest position.
Learn the definition, characteristics, and properties of a wave, such as disturbance, medium, particle-to-particle interaction, and energy transport. Explore examples of waves and wavelike motion in slinky, water, sound, and stadium waves.
In physics, mathematics, engineering, and related fields, a wave is a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities. Periodic waves oscillate repeatedly about an equilibrium (resting) value at some frequency.
21 Οκτ 2024 · Types and features of waves. Waves come in two kinds, longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves are like those on water, with the surface going up and down, and longitudinal waves are like of those of sound, consisting of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium.
Characteristics of Waves. Waves have certain characteristic properties which are observable at first notice. The first property to note is the amplitude. The amplitude is half of the distance measured from crest to trough. We also observe the wavelength, which is the spatial period of the wave (e.g. from crest to crest or trough to trough).
