transverse
Which of the following best describes waves?
They transfer energy but not matter from one place to another
What is the difference between distance and displacement in a wave?
Distance is how far the wave has traveled from the starting point, while displacement is how far the wave has oscillated
What is the amplitude of a wave?
The maximum displacement of the wave
How is wave speed calculated?
By multiplying the frequency of the wave by its wavelength
What are the two types of waves discussed in the video?
Transverse and longitudinal waves
Test your knowledge on the basics of waves, including labeling parts, calculating wave speed, and understanding the differences between transverse and longitudinal waves. Explore how waves transfer energy without transferring matter and how they impact our perception of light and sound.
