11 sty 2023 · We begin our study of waves in this first unit of Physics 7C with an introduction to waves and then a thorough development of the harmonic plane wave model, which we will use extensively to model and understand a wide variety of wave phenomena.
For waves, these variables have the same basic meaning. However, it is helpful to word the definitions in a more specific way that applies directly to waves: Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave; Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second
An interactive simulation to explore and learn about the properties, behavior, and effects of waves.
A wave’s amplitude is the maximum distance (positive or negative) a wave reaches from its rest position. Wavelength is the distance between the same spot on two sections of a wave. A wave’s frequency can be measured by how many crests (or how many troughs) pass a location in a certain amount of time.
Introduction to Waves. This video explains wave propagation in terms of momentum using an example of a wave moving along a rope. It also covers the differences between transverse and longitudinal waves, and between pulse and periodic waves.
