The term that represents how fast a wave oscillates is called frequency. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) and refers to the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave that occur in a given time period, typically one second. Higher frequencies indicate a faster oscillation rate, while lower frequencies indicate a slower oscillation rate.

What type of wave is oscillates?

A sine wave oscillates.


What is transverse and amplitude?

Transverse refers to a wave motion in which particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Amplitude represents the maximum displacement or distance a particle oscillates from its equilibrium position in a wave.


What is a wave that oscillates upand down?

A wave that oscillates up and down is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string.


What is the angle of a tranverse wave in vibrating and direction?

The angle of a transverse wave is the angle at which the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of travel. It represents the up-and-down motion of the wave as it propagates through the medium. The angle remains constant as the wave moves forward.


How do you find amplitude in waves?

The amplitude of a wave is the measure of its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. To find the amplitude, you measure the distance between the equilibrium position and the peak (or trough) of the wave. This value represents the maximum amount by which the wave oscillates from its resting point.


Is an electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave constant in time?

No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.


What oscillates in a sound wave?

In a sound wave, the air particles oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation.


What wave that oscillates parallel movements?

Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.


What are the two types of waves according to the direction of propagation?

The two types of waves based on the direction of propagation are transverse waves, where the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and longitudinal waves, where the wave oscillates parallel to the direction of propagation.


If a wave oscillates twice each second so what is it's period?

It is 0.5 seconds.


Is a p wave fast or slow?

a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
