TRANSVERSE PERIODIC WAVE | ROPE

ACTIVITY | PERIOD | WAVELENGTH

 

 

Assessment: Progressive mechanical wave. Associated physical quantities.

Explain, using a qualitative model, the propagation of a mechanical disturbance in a material environment (rope). Speed of a wave. Delay. Periodic mechanical waves. Sinusoidal waves. Distinguish between spatial and temporal periodicity: Period. Wave length. Relationship between period, wavelength and celerity. λ = v.T et f = 1/T.
