Waves
- Types of waves
- v=ƒλ
- wavelength
Types of waves:
*Transverse (ex. ocean waves, light waves)
*Longitudinal (ex. sound waves, earthquakes)
v=ƒλ
*v (velocity) [m/s]
*ƒ (frequency) [Hz]
*λ (wavelength) [m]
Wavelength:
*The distance between two identical points on a wave (crest to crest OR compression to compression)
*Measure in the metric system (cm, m, km, mm)
