Unit 2- Physics of Waves- Part 1-Waves

Wave

a repeating movement that sends energy to matter or across empty space. eg. sound waves, ocean waves, microwaves周波에너지 파

matter

Anything that takes up space (has mass or volume)

transmits

to send or pass through送信する부치다

force

to push or pull力힘

crest

Highest point of a wave紋章꼭대기

trough

Lowest point of a waveトラフ각광기

wavelength

describes the cycle of the up (crest) and down (trough) movement back to the resting point波長파장

amplitude

Height of a wave振幅진폭

frequency

the number of repeating wavelengths in a given time.周波数회수

medium

the matter through which a wave travels (can be solid, gas or liquid)

transverse wave

Wave in which particles vibrate in an up-and-down motion

longitudinal wave

vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels
