Document Summary

The wave model o: wave model: emphasizes the aspects of wave behavior common to all waves. Traveling wave: an organized disturbance traveling with a well-defined wave speed: transverse wave: wave in which the displacement is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels (waves along a string and electromagnetic waves). = mass of string/length of string in kg/m is called linear density. the medium. where m. The snapshot graph and the history graph portray complementary information: snapshot graph is drawn d y vs x while the history graph is drawn d y vs time. Sinusoidal wave: a wave source that oscillates with a simple harmonic motion (shm). The frequency f of the wave is the frequency of the oscillating source. Period of the wave (t) = 1/f: amplitude (a): the maximum value of the displacement where the crests is d. = a and the trough is d = -a.
