Vibrations and Waves;Parts of a Sine Wave;Sine Wave; Wavelength: the distance between successive identical parts of a sine wave. How far until a wave repeats itself Ex: crest to crest, trough to trough SI unit: meters (m) ;Energy of a Wave;In a pendulum, the greatest KE is at the bottom of the swing This would be the middle (equilibrium line) of a sine wave The greatest PE is at the tallest points of the swing This would be the crest and trough of a sine wave The total energy of wave remains the same At the crests and troughs, there is the most PE and the least KE At the middle, there is the
