Amplitude explained in an easy to understand way.
Amplitude
The energy in a wave. Amplitude. Amplitude is how tall a wave is, and it shows how strong or loud the wave is.
Electric current explained in an easy to understand way.
Electric current
A flow of electric charge, it is measured in amperes A. Electric current. Electric current is like a river of tiny particles called electrons moving through a wire.
Heat explained in an easy to understand way.
Heat
The thermal energy transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat. Heat is when energy moves from something hot to something cool, warming it up.
Light explained in an easy to understand way.
Light
Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves, not all light is in the visible spectrum. Light is a type of energy that we can see, which helps us to see the world around us.
Medium explained in an easy to understand way.
Medium
The substance through which a wave can travel, like air, which carries sound waves, is called a medium. A medium is the material or space through which sound moves, like air, water, or a solid object.
Radiation explained in an easy to understand way.
Radiation
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves, it does not require matter. Radiation. Radiation is energy that travels through space or air as invisible waves, like sunlight.
Transverse wave explained in an easy to understand way.
Transverse wave
A wave that moves particles of matter at right angles to its direction of travel. Transverse wave. A transverse wave is like the up-and-down motion of a rope when you shake one end.
