Label & Draw Transersve Waves: Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, Crest, and Trough

Learn how to QUICKLY label a transverse wave with crest, trough, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, resting position and resting points. We will also learn how to draw a transerve wave correctly on graph paper for a wave with a specific wavelength, amplitude and frequency.

I thank you for the ease of this video. My 6th grader is learning waves and this has been the best explanation for transverse waves we have found. Thank you so much.

[@AnneSchmidt]

Glad you both found the video helpful in learning waves! Best wishes to you and your 6th grader.

Hello Anne :) I don't know if you still check comments, but unlike many people here, I don't study any maths or physics: I study Art! On my subject 'Image and Sound' we had to draw a sound wave; it's the only occasion on my whole course where we have any contact with physics, and this video has really made it all easier to understand. Thank you so much!

[@AnneSchmidt]

Glad it helped! Science and art truly are a wonderful combination.

Thx u so much i have a task to draw sound waves and i dont know it.

[@AnneSchmidt]

Hopefully the video helps you!

[@lmUnderYourSheets]

Thank u

[@stan_skz_ya]

im a bit confused when you do amplitude why do you go through the middle point? why dont you do one big wave that goes through 8 if u know what i mean bc why do u go through halfway?

[@AnneSchmidt]

Amplitude is from the resting point to the crest or to the trough. The resting point is the horizontal line I drew in my video.

[@michaelgalario6655]

Hi, Just a quick question. Why is it the total wavelength counting the lines sums up to 9 and not 8? Thanks

[@zacharydunn6577]

Two questions. First, that looks at the start like you are writing directly on the typical black lab bench surface. What are you writing with? Second, in the latter part of the video you go over drawing particular waves of certain wavelength, frequency, etc. What class is this for? I've obviously learned about and dealt with waves in many different classes as a high school physics and chemistry teacher myself, but don't recall ever needing to use that particular skill, although what you're doing makes logical sense and wouldn't be that hard to extend to with this material.

[@AnneSchmidt]

I use liquid chalk window markers. They wipe right off the black lab tables (baby wipes work best to remove the marker). Second, graphing transverse waves is something I have my chem students do after we finish emission spectrums for elements. We draw six different waves and then "classify them" as ROYGBV. I just want them to correlate short wavelength with violet visible light and long wavelength with red visible light (I make the sure the violet is more frequent so as to correlate to energy). I like to do graphing whenever possible to build that skill.

[@voyd5417]

Nice

[@AnneSchmidt]

Thanks 😊

[@starboii568]

But plz do tell how, How did you know where to place the crest like you put it at 2 that part always confuses me.

[@AnneSchmidt]

The crest is at the 1/4 wavelength and trough is at the 3/4 wavelength. So if the wavelength was 8 then the crest is at 2, crosses the resting point at 4 and trough at 6.

[@starboii568]

What if the wave length or wave graph I'm supposed to label the amplitude on has no resting position?-

How can you measure waves in the sky? Like haarp?

I still don't understand for the part where you graph

[@Daman2k25]

i subbed and like

[@AnneSchmidt]

thanks

[@b04-aquisapkeithnathanielt42]

Wat if the wavelength is an odd number?

[@AnneSchmidt]

If the wavelength was 5 then the first crest would be at 1.25, the wave would cross the resting point at 2.5, the trough would be at 3.75 and then the wave would cross again the resting point at 5. This would give a wavelength of 5. Best wishes!

[@arpitasaha541]

This graph is done on inch graph or any other graph?

Yes, you should use graph paper.
