Measuring Waves Physics 7(B)

Learning Objectives Describe and measure the parts of a wave Explain the relationship between frequency and wavelength Use the wave velocity equation to calculate velocity, frequency, and wavelength Measuring Waves

Crest – point of maximum displacement in the positive direction Trough – point of maximum displacement in the negative direction Equilibrium – rest point of a wave Amplitude – maximum displacement of a wave measured from equilibrium to a crest or trough Parts of a Wave

Wavelength ( λ ) – distance between two identical points on adjacent waves measuring the length of one full oscillation of a wave – Measured in meters, m Frequency (f ) – number of times that a distinct part of a wave passes a given point in one second – Measured in Hertz, Hz Measuring Waves

Frequency and Wavelength For a wave moving with a constant velocity, frequency and wavelength are inversely related – If frequency decreases, wavelength increases – If frequency increases, wavelength decreases

Wave velocity (v ) – a measurement of how fast a wave is moving – Dependent on the frequency ( f ) and wavelength ( λ ) of the wave – Measured in meters per second, m/s Frequency measured in hertz Wavelength measured in meters Wave Velocity
