Waves Wave Properties Waves are propagated by a vibrating source Pulse – single disturbance created by a single oscillation Periodic Wave – periodic.

Waves Waves which move forward are called PROGRESSIVE waves. Waves transfer energy. Waves do not transfer matter. Waves can be classified as either mechanical.

WAVES Wave - a periodic disturbance that propagates energy through a medium or space, without a corresponding transfer of matter. e.g.1 sound wave (regular.

Graph of Displacement against Position

Graph of Displacement against Position l is the wavelength

Graph of Displacement against Position

Graph of Displacement against Position The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position is called the amplitude

Graph of Displacement against Time

Graph of Displacement against Time T is the time period

Graph of Displacement against Time T is the time period Frequency - number of cycles per second

Graph of Displacement against Time T is the time period Frequency - number of cycles per second Frequency - determined by the source

Graph of Displacement against Time T is the time period Frequency - number of cycles per second Frequency - determined by the source 1 f = T

Relation between f, l and v

Relation between f, l and v The wavelength, l is the distance travelled by the disturbance during one time period

Relation between f, l and v The wavelength, l is the distance travelled by the disturbance during one time period

Relation between f, l and v The wavelength, l is the distance travelled by the disturbance during one time period

v = f l Relation between f, l and v The wavelength, l is the distance travelled by the disturbance during one time period v = f l
