What is a progressive wave?, A wave that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter, Define displacement of a wave, the distance and direction an oscillating particle moves from its rest position, Define the amplitude of a wave, The maximum displacement an oscillating particle in the medium moves from its rest position, Define the period of a wave, the time taken for one complete cycle/one complete wave to pass a point, Define frequency of a wave, the number of complete waves passing a fixed pointper second, Define the intensity of a wave, the power per unit area, What is the relationship between frequency and period?, f=1/T, State the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, c = fʎ, What is the path difference between two points on a wave?, the fraction of a wavelength by which one point is behind/ahead of the other, What is the phases difference between two points on a wave?, the fraction of a cycle by which one point is behind/ahead of the other
