- a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location
- Mechanical wave
- not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum (empty space)
- REQUIREs a medium to transport its energy
- Electromagnetic wave
- Capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum
- Transverse Wave
- PARTICLES OF THE MEDIUM MOVE PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF THE WAVE
- longitudal wave
- Particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave
- Wavelength
- the length of one complete wave cycle from crest to crest or trough to trough
- FREQUENCY
- HOW OFTEN THE PARTICLES OF THE MEDIUM VIBRATE WHEN A WAVE PASSES THROUGH
- EQUATION FOR SPEED OF A WAVE
- speed = Distance/time
