The Wave

THE WAVE

A Wave is a periodic up-and-down movement of water. Wave

Motion is where individual parts cycle up-and-down, or back-and-forth.

It looks like something is actually moving, but in reality it's the distortion

moving where one part makes the next part move. Distortion is a change

in the shape of an image resulting from imperfections in an optical system,

such as a lens. There are many different types of waves. Some that are

involved in Wave Motion are as followed: Tranverse waves, Light waves,

Compression waves, Sound waves, and Circular waves. An up-and-down

motion creates Transverse waves. Light waves are caused by up-and-

down motions of electric or magnetic fields, thus making them transverse

waves. Back-and-Forth motion creates compression waves.

A loudspeaker cone moves back-and-forth to create a sound wave.

In cases where the material moves in a combination of transverse and

compression ways, this creates circular waves.Characteristics that make

up waves are it's: wavelength, amplitude, velocity, and frequency.

Wavelength is the distance between wave crests. Amplitude is the height

of the wave. Velocity is the measurement of how fast a crest is moving

from a fixed point. Frequency describes the number of cycles that occur

in a given time period.
