Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
Properties of Waves?
The main characteristics of waves are: 1. Amplitude or height of the wave. 2. Wavelength, or the distance between crests. 3. Period or the length of time for a wave to pass a point. 4. Frequency or the number of complete waves passing a point. 5. Speed or the horizontal speed of the wave as it grows.
What is a right angle wave?
A transverse wave.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
What is measured from crest to crest of a transverse wave?
That would be the wavelength, it can also be measured from trough to trough.
If two transverse waves have the same wavelength the wave with the has the greatest wave speed.?
If two transverse waves have the same wavelength, the wave with the __________ has the greatest wave speed.
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
What is the wavelength of a transverse wave?
2.7 cm
What determines the color of a transverse wave?
Wavelength
What is the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave?
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
Lowest part of a transverse wave?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
What are the two parts to a transverse wave?
A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.
What is the distance from crest to midpoint of a transverse wave?
If I understand the question correctly, that's one-quarter of a full cycle, so it is 1/4 of the wavelength. The wavelength varies from wave to wave - and this has nothing to do whether the wave is transverse or longitudinal.
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The wavelength
What is the distance between 2 crests on a transverse wave?
"wavelength"
