15. • Wave speed =
•frequency x wavelength
• Wave speed =
•wavelength / period
16. • EXAMPLE
–Sound wave has a frequency of
10,000 Hz and a wavelength of 1.50
meter in water. What is the speed
of the sound in water?
1.Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
2. Wave speed = wavelength / period
18. • Amplitude
–Maximum amount of displacement of a
particle on the medium from its resting
position.
–The greater amplitude, the greater the
energy carried by the wave.
20. Classification of Waves
• According to their movement:
–Transverse wave
–Longitudinal wave
• According to their nature:
–Mechanical wave
–Electromagnetic wave
21. • Transverse wave
–Is one in which the particles of the
medium are vibrating perpendicularly
to the direction of wave propagation.
