Waves

1. What they all have

   • 1. Wavelength
     • 2. Frequency
       • 3. Amplitude
         • 4. Speed
           • Is how fast the wave travels
           • 5. Period
             • Is the time in seconds it tales for a wave to pass a given point.
             • E.G a wave with period 0.002s has the frequency of 1/o.oo2 = 500 Hz
         • The amplitude is the height of a wave. From rest to crest
       • Is how many complete waves there are per second, this is measured in Hertz (Hz) One Hertz is One wave per second.
     • Is the distance between one peak to the next
