Wave Theory

              A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. 
Types of waves :
Difference between Transverse and Longitudinal waves :


What is Frequency ?
Frequency (ν) is the number of wave cycles passing a given point per second. Wave cycle is a single up down motion.Wave is a consisting series of wave cycles. Frequency is measured in Hertz (cycles per second).


What is Wave Length ?
Wavelength (λ) is a distance from one wave cycle to the next.


What is the relation between Frequency and Wave length ?
frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.


What is Amplitude ?
It is the maximum displacement of an oscillations in a wave.
