Waves Mindmap

Waves are described by their frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and speed. Frequency is the number of waves produced per unit time and is measured in Hertz. Wavelength is the minimum distance between two particles that are in phase. Speed is the distance the wave travels in a unit of time and can be calculated using the formula that speed equals frequency multiplied by wavelength. Waves transfer energy through a medium without transferring matter.

time taken to produce one wave symbol - T, unit - s period

number of waves produced per unit time symbol - f, unit - Hertz (Hz) frequency longitudinal maximum displacement of the particle symbol - a, unit - cm or m terms used to describe wave minimum distance between 2 particles that are in-phase symbol -, unit - cm or m types transverse wavelength example electromagnetic waves amplitude example - sound wave direction of wave is perpendicular to the direction of the vibration of the particles water wave gamma x ray ultraviolet (uv) visible light transfer energy distance moved by the wave in a unit time symbol - v, unit - m/s f = 1/T Formula v=f speed what it does what is doesn't it doesn't transfer matter (when a wave pass through a medium, it does not carry the particles in the medium to move along with it) infrared microwave radiowave direction of wave is parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles
