Properties of waves - Coggle Diagram

- - - - A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.
    - - Is the minimum or lowest point in a wave.
  - - - the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
    - - Is the distance from one crest of the wave to the next (of from one trough to the next)
  - - - Number of waves sent in a minute
      - Measured
        
        Hertz (Hz)
    - - The time taken for one wave to complete
      - Measured
        
        In seconds
  - - - Example
        
        Sunlight in form of radiation
        
        Vibrations of a loudspeaker
        
        Water waves also carry energy.
  - - - Waves move back and forth
        
        example
        
        Sound
    - - Waves move from side to side
        
        example
        
        Light and all electromagnetic waves
- - - - imaginary surface representing corresponding points of a wave that vibrate in unison.
- - - - V = f λ
