the diagram shows how long and transverse waves are connected to each other in a sinky

What are longitudinal wavesIn this case, Individual particles of wave move in direction of propagation of wavesIn easy language, particles of medium move back and forth (left and right) making nearby particles of medium vibrateExampleIf we stretch a slinky, it moves left and right (in the direction

a poster with the words, freethikers physics equations waves and optics on it

Freethinkers Overstanding Optics waves Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. Optics usually describes the behaviour of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. Because light is an electromagnetic wave, other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves exhibit similar properties. Most optical phenomena can...

an amplitude is shown with two different types of waves

Amplitude (meters) The distance between the top of a crest (or lowest point of trough) and the point of equilibrium (below it says 'origin' - it means the same thing.) Wavelength (meters) The distance between the top of one crest to the next (consecutive wave). Frequency Number of waves in one second (not necessarily complete waves) Period Time needed to complete one full oscillation Click here to try a virtual oscilloscope…

an image of hydrogen wave functions

According to Wikipedia, there's an infinite set of possible wavefunctions (orbitals) for the hydrogen atom: $$\psi_{n\ell m}(r,\theta,\phi) = \sqrt {{\left ( \frac{2}{n a_0} \right )}^3\frac{(n-\e...

a blue wave with the words did i know?

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. This basically means that when the wavelength is increased, the frequency decreases and vice versa.
