What is a wave?


✔✔A wave is a disturbance that travels through space and matter, transferring energy from one

place to another.




How do waves differ from particles?


✔✔Waves transfer energy without transferring matter, while particles have mass and occupy

space.

✔✔In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a

longitudinal wave, particles move parallel to the wave's direction.




What are some common examples of waves in everyday life?

What is the amplitude of a wave?

indicating the wave's energy.




How is wavelength defined?

to crest or trough to trough.




What is frequency in the context of waves?


✔✔Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz

(Hz).




How do sound waves travel through different mediums?


✔✔Sound waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases by causing particles in those mediums

to vibrate.
