Wave motion what is meant by transverse waves? Transverse waves - vibration of particles is perpendicular to direction of travel of wave energy, Wave motion what is meant by longitudinal waves? Longitudinal waves - vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of travel of wave energy, Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Amplitude - It is the maximum displacement from the rest position, Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Speed - it is the distance moved in 1 s wavelength - speed = -------------- period = frequency x wavelength eg: The separation between a crest and the nearest trough on a vibrating string is 5 cm and 5 crests pass through the mid-point of the string in 4 s. Find the speed of the transverse waves., Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Period - it is the time taken for an oscillating particle to complete one oscillation - it is the time taken from the crest to the trough and back to the crest, Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Displacement - distance measured from the rest position - upwards and to the right is positive - downwards and to the left is negative, Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Frequency - it is the number of complete oscillations made in 1 s - it is also the number of waves pass a point in 1 s eg: 10 waves pass through a float every 8 s, what is the frequency of sea wave?, Wave motion what are the terms used to describe wave motion? Wavelength - it is the distance between two nearest crests or two nearest troughs - it is also the distance moved in one period - it is also the distance between two points having the same phase eg: The separation between a crest and the nearest trough is 2 m, what is the wavelength?
