Takeaways

• 😀 Transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the direction of vibration, with the wave traveling horizontally and vibration occurring vertically.
• 😀 The crest (Bukit gelombang) and trough (Lembah gelombang) are essential components of transverse waves, with the crest being the highest point and the trough the lowest.
• 😀 Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, which can be measured from the center (e.g., from the axis to the peak of the wave).
• 😀 Wavelength (lamda) is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave, defining one complete wave cycle.
• 😀 Longitudinal waves, unlike transverse waves, propagate in the same direction as the vibration, with compression and rarefaction forming the wave.
• 😀 In longitudinal waves, the compression is the region where particles are close together, and rarefaction is the region where particles are far apart.
• 😀 The frequency (f) of a wave is the number of complete cycles or waves that pass a point per second, while the period (T) is the time taken for one complete wave cycle.
• 😀 The speed of a wave (v) is calculated as the product of wavelength (λ) and frequency (f), with the formula v = λ * f.
• 😀 The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and wave speed is essential for solving wave-related problems in physics.
• 😀 Example problems involve calculating frequency, period, wavelength, and wave speed based on given distances and times, such as finding the speed of a transverse or longitudinal wave using given data.

Q & A

What is a transverse wave?

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the direction of wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of particle vibration. The particles move up and down while the wave moves horizontally.

What are the key terms related to a transverse wave?

The key terms for a transverse wave include: peak (the highest point), trough (the lowest point), amplitude (maximum displacement from equilibrium), and wavelength (distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs).

What is amplitude in the context of transverse waves?

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a point from its equilibrium position. In transverse waves, it is the distance from the midpoint (equilibrium) to the peak or trough of the wave.

How do you calculate the wavelength of a transverse wave?

The wavelength of a transverse wave is calculated by measuring the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs). It can also be defined as the distance between two points in phase, such as from one peak to the next.

What is a longitudinal wave?

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the direction of particle vibration. In this type of wave, particles move back and forth along the direction of wave movement.

What are the key terms associated with longitudinal waves?

For longitudinal waves, the key terms are compression (the region of high particle density) and rarefaction (the region of low particle density). A full wave consists of one compression and one rarefaction.

How do you determine the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?

The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is the distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions.

What is frequency, and how is it related to the wave?

Frequency is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in one second. It is the inverse of the period, which is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass.

What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?

The speed of a wave can be calculated using the formula v = λf, where v is the wave speed, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency of the wave.

What is the relationship between period and frequency?

Period (T) is the time taken for one complete wave to pass a point, and frequency (f) is the number of waves that pass a point in one second. The relationship is given by the formula T = 1/f.
