Transverse Waves

• displacement perpendicular to wave motion

Page 3: W A V E S

Longitudinal Waves

• displacement parallel to wave motion

Page 4: W A V E S

Parts of a wave

trough

crest

Page 5: W A V E S

Constructive Interference

• When crests and troughs combine, amplitude increasesbigger waves

(IN PHASE)

Page 6: W A V E S

Destructive Interference

When crests and troughs meet, they cancel each other out smaller waves

OUT OF PHASE

Page 7: W A V E S

Speed of a Wave

• Velocity-speed at which the wave is traveling• Frequency-number of times a wave passes a

point per second• Wavelength-Length of wave from crest to crest

or trough to trough

Velocity = Frequency x Wavelength

Tsunamis are caused by:
