We Will See The Difference of That Two Wave

Waves transfer energy from one place to another through vibration or disturbance in a medium. There are two main types of waves: transverse waves, where the vibration is perpendicular to the direction of travel, and longitudinal waves, where the vibration is parallel to the direction of travel. The speed of a wave depends on its frequency and wavelength, according to the formula that the speed equals wavelength multiplied by frequency.

CHAPTER 2

WAVE

Waves are a wiggle in space cause by vibration or disturbance. Waves have the ability
to carry energy from one location to another. Wave and vibration is different. When
vibration is change over a period of time, wave is a length traveled during vibration.

There are two different types of waves; transverse and longitudinal. A transverse
wave is when the wave is vibrating perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. A
longitudinal wave, also called a compression wave, is a wave in which the vibration is in the
same direction as that in which the wave is travelling.

1. TRANSVERSE WAVE

d'’ i
a b'’ c e g

A
d h

b-b’ or d-d’ = amplitude


a-b-c or e-f-g = crest Symbol :
c-d-e or g-h-i = trough λ = wavelength
a-b-c-d-e = one wavelength A = Amplitude
b-c-d-e-f = one wavelength (maximum
c-d-e-f-g = one wavelength distance)
d-e-f-g-h = one wavelength

2. LONGITUDINAL WAVE

one wavelength is
- 1 compression and 1 rarefaction
- ½ compression, 1 rarefaction, and ½ compression
- ½ rarefaction, 1 compression, and ½ rarefaction

Remember !!
How frequetly a wave or vibration occurs during a span of a time, determines the
waves frequency. The speed a wave travels is the wavelength multiplied by this this
frequency.
CHAPTER 2
WAVE

The formula for velocity of waves is :

v = velocity (m/s)
𝝀 = wavelength (m)
f = frequency (hertz/Hz)
T = period (second)

The formula for distance of waves is :

v = speed (m/s)
t = time (second)
s = distance (m)

Example :
1. The velocity of a wave is 60 m/s. If the wavelength is 12 m. What is frequency of that
wave ?
