WEEK 1 - Transverse Waves

Carries energy from one place to another

• Waves
• Amplitude

• Wavelength

The measurement of the distance the particles move from the resting point of the wave

• Wavelength
• Frequency

• Crest

The measurement from one point of the wave to the next identical part of the wave (for example, crest to crest or trough to trough)

• Crest
