Waves
Waves have measurable properties
Amplitude
Distance between trough and the middle of a wave
Wavelength
Crest to crest
Long wavelength, low frequency
Frequency
How often a wave occurs
Crest
Top of a wave
Trough
Lowest point of a wave
Speed
Wavelength*Frequency
We can predict how the waves move
They interact with other materials
Reflection
when waves bounce off of a barrier
Refraction
When a wave bends
Diffraction
Waves spread out through an opening
They interact with other waves
Waves temporarily add to another wave
They also can cancel each other out
Waves transfer energy
A wave is a disturbance
Waves need a force to start them
Waves can be classified by how they move
Transverse waves are where the direction is perpendicular to the disturbance
Longitudinal waves is where the direction is same as disturbance
A medium is a substance that waves travel through
Waves that transfer energy through matter are mechanical waves
