Document Summary

Waves are a travelling disturbance of vibrations that transmit energy with no net movement of matter. They move and carry energy, but do not have mass. The substance through which waves travel is called a medium. There are two main wave types: transverse : oscillations are perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels, longitudinal wave: oscillations are along the direction the wave travels. Important parameters of a wave that can be measure: amplitude: maximum displacement of points on a wave, wavelength: distance between two like points on a wave, frequency: number of cycles of a wave passing a point per time. The speed of the wave, its wavelength and frequency are all related. The speed of sound in any substance depends on the mass, and the force between atoms and molecules. The speed of sound is usually the highest in solids (due to the forces)
