Presentation transcript:

What is the difference between a crest and a trough of a wave?

What is the wavelength of a wave?

Wavelength the distance from a particular height on the wave to the next spot on the wave where it is at the same height and going in the same direction

How are frequency and period related to eachother?

Frequency (f) and period (T) are exact inverses of each other there is a very basic pair of formulas you can use to calculate one if you know the other

What is the amplitude of a wave?

the height from the equilibrium point to the highest point of a crest the height from the equilibrium point to the highest point of a crest or the depth from the equilibrium point to the lowest point of a trough

What math will we have to do this unit? V = f l V = velocity F = frequency l= wavelength
