Waves: Frequency
Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second.
SLIDE 10
Waves: Amplitude
Amplitude (A)– The size of the vibration.
SLIDE 11
What's the Frequency? F = ?
Waves: Frequency
Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second.
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.
SLIDE 13
Waves: Frequency
F = V / T = 4 / 2 = 2 What's the Frequency? What's the Frequency? F = ? Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second.
SLIDE 14
Waves: Frequency
F = V / T = 4 / 2 = 2 What's the Frequency? What's the Frequency? F = V / T = 10 / 2 = 5 Frequency (F) – The number of vibrations something makes in one second.
