Waves
What do you know about waves?

Longitudinal Waves
In this type of wave, particles vibrate back and forwards along the direction the wave is
travelling.

Transverse Waves
This type of wave moves perpendicular to the motion of the particle

Standing Waves
Maybe you've noticed or maybe you haven't. Sometimes when you vibrate a string, or cord, or chain, or cable it's possible to get it to vibrate in a manner such that you're generating a wave, but the wave doesn't propagate. It just sits there vibrating up and down in place. These are called standing waves.
These specialized waves have places where the medium does not vibrate at all, called nodes, and other places where the medium vibrates the most, called antinodes. Standing waves have a changing numbers of nodes and antinodes.

Properties of WavesWhat is meant by the axis of a wave?
The axis is the line runningthrough the middle of thewave pattern.

What is meant by the crest of the wave?
The crest is the top part of the wave

…and the trough?
The trough is the bottompart of the wave.

What is the amplitude of the wave?
The amplitude is thedistance from the axis tothe crest

or from axis to trough.

Definition of Wavelength?The wavelength is thedistance after which thewave pattern repeats itself– the distance between twoidentical points on the wave

Wavelength is given
the symbol λ pronounced lambda.

FrequencyThe frequency of the wave is the
number of waves each second.
It is measured in hertz (Hz) which justmeans “per second”.

Period
The period of a wave is the time takenfor one complete wave to pass a point.
It is measured in seconds (s).
