Surface waves | A combination of the motions of the two kinds of waves |
amplitude | the amplitude of a wave is the distance that any point on the wave is moved from its resting position (1/2 of the wave height) |
wave length | I can be measured between any 2 identical points on the waves |
transverve wave | vibrate back and fourth in the same direction as the wave is moving |
defination of frequincy | of a wave is the number of vibrations it has in a given time |
energy from waves | light sound heat and the other thing |
Examples | solar panels sound gravity |
what do waves carry one place to another | waves carry energy |
what is the difference between a Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave? | a Transverse wave is idk |
