Document Summary

A periodic wiggle in space and time. Pictorial representation of a wave produced by simple harmonic motion. The time it takes to swing only depends on length of the pendulum. The period doesn"t depend on mass or arc size. Distance from dashed equilibrium midpoint to crest or trough. Distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest. The distance between any successive identical parts of the wave. Allows energy to be transferred from a source to a receiver without the transfer of matter between the 2 points. A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicularly (at right angles) to the direction the wave travels. Ex) electromagnetic waves: light and radio waves, waves in the stretched strings of musical instruments. Waves in which the medium vibrates parallel to (along) the direction the wave travels. Ex) sound waves, a pushed in slinky. Stretches wave part in between each compression.
