Study Notes
Wave Characteristics
- Compression waves are also known as longitudinal waves.
- The maximum distance particles in a wave vibrate from their rest positions is called amplitude.
- The speed at which a wave crest passes by a particular point in space is called wave speed or velocity.
Factors Affecting Speed of Sound
- Temperature is a factor that affects the speed of sound, causing it to move faster through hot air than cold air.
Frequency Formula
- The formula for frequency is f = 1/T, where f is the frequency and T is the period of the wave.
