Amplitude and Interferences
On a transverse wave it's How high the wave moves from the rest position.
What is Amplitude?
The amount of waves that go by per second.
What is frequency?
Waves in which the medium moves at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave.
What are transverse waves?
Waves in which the medium moves back and forth (parallel) in the same direction as the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The matter that either longitudinal or transverse waves travel through.
What is a medium?
