Waves: Definitions

Vibration (V) – Back and forth motion. Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second. Amplitude (A)– The size of the vibration. Resonance – Large vibrations when something is pushed at its natural frequency

SLIDE 12

What's the Frequency?

Waves: Frequency

F = V / T = 4 / 2 = 2 Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second.
