CHRACTERISTICS OF WAVE
Week 4 of Third Quarter
Wave Characteristics
a wave can be described as a disturbance
that travels through or without a medium,
transporting energy from one location (its source)
to another location without transporting matter.

CHRACTERISTICS OF WAVE
 FREQUENCY
Number of crests
and troughs that
pass a point per
second
It has a unit called
Hertz or Hz in
symbol.
 PERIOD
Time it takes for
one wave cycle to
complete.
Symbolized by
capital T
 SPEED
Distance moved
by a wave in one
second

Lambda

Sample problem
A mechanical wave moves in a string with a speed of 125 m/s. If
the frequency of the wave is 250 Hz, what is the wavelength?
GIVEN: SUBSTITUTION:
V = 125 m/s
f = 250 Hz v=ʎ.ƒ
125 m/s = ʎ (250 Hz)
UNKNOWN: 250 Hz 250 Hz
Wavelength = ? 1/ s
ANSWER:
FORMULA: 0.5 m = ʎ or 0.5 m = ʎ
v=ʎ.ƒ Sample problem
1 Hz = 1/second
Recap
Meaning of waves and its characteristics.

Amplitude, wavelength, trough, crest,

frequency, and period

Simple problems on wave speed, and

described its relationship with the wavelength
and frequency.
