Unit 9 Waves

Today in class we learned all kinds of new vocabulary relating to waves. We also learned about different kinds of waves. There are two types transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves are waves that have energy perpendicular to wave velocity. Longitudinal waves are wave that have energy that moves parallel to the waves velocity. We also learned about frequency and periods. Frequency (Hertz/Hz) is how many cycles go by in a second. A period is the time it takes for one rotation or cycle to happen. Period and frequency are inversely proportional.
Here is a picture of me at sandys with a fet "wave".
