NOT MATH RELATED BY REALLY NEED HELP :) what are some features of waves? Please help! :) Thx! Will give medal and fan

There wavy. ;) OK, ignore that... Crest - the highest point in the wave. Trough - the lowest point in the wave. Wavelength* - the horizontal distance between successive crests, troughs or other parts of a wave. Wave height - the vertical distance between the crest of a wave and its neighboring trough. This term is commonly used when describing water waves where the undisturbed surface is not easily determined. Amplitude* - the amount of displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. Equal to one half the wave height. Undisturbed surface - resting state or equilibrium position of medium in the absence of a wave. Period* - the time it takes for successive crests or troughs to pass a specific point. Frequency* - the inverse of period.The number of crests or troughs that pass a point during a set time interval.

I'm not sure either so I'm asking other people :) I think it mean an aspect of waves

This is my source. http://scienceprimer.com/wave-features All you have to do is type wave features into google and alot of easy websites come up. Hope it helps!

You are here Features of a wave A standard set of terminology is used to describe the feature of waves. The following illustration shows a cross-section through a transverse wave*. Switches below the main window can be used to label the following features: Crest - the highest point in the wave. Trough - the lowest point in the wave. Wavelength* - the horizontal distance between successive crests, troughs or other parts of a wave. Wave height - the vertical distance between the crest of a wave and its neighboring trough. This term is commonly used when describing water waves where the undisturbed surface is not easily determined. Amplitude* - the amount of displacement from the equilibrium or rest position. Equal to one half the wave height. Undisturbed surface - resting state or equilibrium position of medium in the absence of a wave. Period* - the time it takes for successive crests or troughs to pass a specific point. Frequency* - the inverse of period.The number of crests or troughs that pass a point during a set time interval. A video demonstration of the illustration can be found below the illustration.You can also test your understanding with Features of a wave concept questions. Wavelength: 20 m Waveheight: 10 m Amplitude: 5 m Labels:

Thanks! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the medals!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well since I can't give away more than 2 medals I became your fan @linaboo123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aw you nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! :)
