In a transverse wave: - Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling - Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz) - Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave - The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)
There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.
All adjustments in issue include changes in energy. Energy is either delivered or consumed. The energy is often in the form of heat, however it might be in the form of sound or light.
