Title At the top of page 5 in your INB, write the title of the page. Transverse Waves
Waves Waves: “Moving energy” that is formed when a force causes vibrations through space or matter
Light Light: a wave that carries energy
Light travels in waves called TRANSVERSE WAVES (a wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave)
Wave Machine
Parts of a transverse waves
Crest: the highest point of a wave
Trough: the lowest point of a wave
Wavelength: the distance between each crest or each trough
Frequency: The number of complete waves in a certain amount of time
Amplitude: the distance from the resting position to the crest or to the trough
Wave height: the distance between a crest and trough
Rest Position: the position of the wave if no energy was present
