Physics

the section of the wave that rises about the undisturbed position, it is the highest point in a transverse wave

• the section of the wave that lies below the undisturbed position, it is the lowest point in a
• transverse wave

The maximum positive displacement from the undisturbed position of the medium to the top of a crest or the distance from the rest position straight up to the crest or trough.

the distance between any two adjacent correspoinding locations on the wave train. This distance is usually measured in one of three ways: crest to crest, trough to trough, or the distance from the rest position, straight up to the crest or down to the trough.

the matter that most waves travel through or material

Where the particles of a medium stay when thereare no disturbances

how many waves are made per time interval and is measured in Hertz or Hz

The speed at which the waves travel, the speed of a wave depends on the medium in which the wave is traveling

Speed of the wave = Frequency x Wavelength or V=f*λ

V=s/t or Speed=distance/time

a wave that's direction of motion is 90^o to the motion of its medium.

particles of medium move back and forth along the same direction of wave, has 2 distinct regions - compression and rarefaction, sound waves.

10^-3=.001

10³=1000

10⁶=1,000,000

Incident angle is equal to the reflected angle.
