📚 Understanding Waves
Wave Properties:
- Frequency (f): Number of oscillations per second
- Wavelength (λ): Distance between wave crests
- Amplitude (A): Maximum displacement from equilibrium
- Phase: Horizontal shift of the wave
Wave Types:
- Sine: Pure harmonic oscillation
- Square: Digital signals, Fourier series
- Triangle: Synthesizer waveforms
- Sawtooth: Ramp functions, music synthesis
Fundamental Wave Equation:
v = fλ - Wave speed equals frequency times wavelength. This relationship is fundamental to all wave phenomena including sound, light, and water waves.
