what are the parts of a waves?

Sagot :

The parts of a waves : frequency, period, wavelength and wave velocity

Further explanation

Waves are vibrations that travel

Generally through the medium

Waves can be classified by

  • 1. The direction of motion

a. transverse waves

waves whose direction is perpendicular to the direction of propagation

There is a crest (peak) and trough (base) on this wave

b. longitudinal wave

waves whose direction is parallel to the direction of propagation

There is compression and rarefaction on this wave

  • 2. the propagation medium

a. mechanical waves

waves that require propagation medium

b. electromagnetic wave

waves that do not require propagation medium

There are several parts of the wave namely:

frequency, period, wavelength and wave velocity

Frequency (f): the number of waves that occur in one second

Period (T): The time required to travel one wave

Wavelength (λ): the distance from one crest to another, or from one trough to another (on transverse waves) and the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions (on longitudinal waves)

Fast wave propagation(v): the distance traveled by waves per unit of time

The formula :

[tex]\rm v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\v=\lambda\times f\\\\f=\dfrac{1}{T}[/tex]
