What is amplitude in a transverse wave?
|
The maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position.
|
|
|
What is the relation between the amplitude and the energy?
|
The higher the energy, the higher the amplitude.
|
|
|
What is amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
|
The density of the compressions.
|
|
|
What is wavelength?
|
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
|
|
|
What is frequency?
|
The number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
|
|
|
What is frequency measured in?
|
Hertz or waves per second.
|
|
|
