Amplitude
What is amplitude?
The distance between the top of the wave to the middle of the wave
what is wavelength?
the space between the top of the wave.
what is the frequency used for?
the number of waves that passed.
What is this symbol? λ
Wavelength
What is the wave that has compressions?
Longitudinal wave
How do you find amplitude?
You find the distance of the highest to the lowest point and then you divide that by 2
how is wavelength created?
by traveling energy.
how do you measure frequency?
by counting the number of crests.
What does the V in waves stand for?
Velocity
What is the wave that goes up and down?
Transverse wave
What is amplitude used for?
Amplitude is used to find the strength of a wave
What can wavelength tell us?
the energy of the wavelength, and the type of wavelength.
what is frequency?
the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.
What does F stand for?
Frequency
What are water waves an example of?
Mechanical waves
