Waves What does energy have to do with waves?
What does energy have to do with the wave? • Transverse wave:A wave in which particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave.
Transverse Wave: Energy
Parts of a wave: • Crest: The part of the wave that rises above the undisturbed portion. • Trough: The part of the wave that goes below the undisturbed portion. • Amplitude: The maximum upward movement from the undisturbed portion to the crest. • Wavelength: The distance between two of the same part of a wave next to each other. • Frequency: How many waves are completed in a given period of time.
