Mechanical
1 of 9
The type of wave which transfers energy from the source to the observer.
Progressive
2 of 9
The type of wave in which energy is not transmitted but rather changes form between potential energy and kinetic energy.
Standing
3 of 9
The maximum displacement of a particle from the midpoint if the oscillation.
Amplitude
4 of 9
The time taken for one complete oscillation.
Period
5 of 9
The number of oscillations per second.
Frequency
6 of 9
The distance travelled by the wave each second.
Wave speed
7 of 9
