Wave Diagram: Origin of the wave/Disturbance State of Equilibrium (Power) (λ)(λ) One Full Wave (One Crest and one Trough )
Wave Info: Energy is carried from one point to another by moving mass or through the action of waves. All waves have a source (a vibration or disturbance). This source transforms energy into forms that can be carried as waves. Waves are not material objects. Waves represent the moving energy being carried away from the source.
Wave Info (Continued): Waves are coordinated vibrations that transport energy. Sometimes waves require the vibration of particles in matter to move (Mechanical Waves – need particles to move), other waves travel without any need for particle vibrations (Electromagnetic Waves – do not need particles to move).
Wave Frequency: Frequency (ƒ) = the number of waves (oscillations) per second High Frequency = more waves (oscillations) per second Low Frequency = fewer waves (oscillations) per second Low Energy High Energy
