Properties of waves

Properties of waves

1. Frequency: is the number of waves passing through a given point for one second

2. Crest: the top part of the wave

3. Trough: the lower part of the wave

4. Amplitude: is the altitude of the wave and is related to the wave energy because it is what makes the wave have a larger amplitude. the amplitude is from the crest to the middle point of the wave.

5. Velocity: is the speed at which the wave travels

6. Wavelength: Distance from peak to peak of the wave,and is represented by a Greek symbol called lambda
