Prperties of waves

Prperties of waves

1. Amplitude-A

   • Maximum distance from rest position

2. Frequency-f

   • f=s/λ
   • unit called herts (Hz)
   • is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time

3. Wavelength-λ

   • Distance between two corresponding parts of the wave
   • λ =s/f
   • Is the length of a full cycle of a wave from one point to the next same point

4. Speed-v

   • s=fλ
   • Is how far the wave travels in a given amount of time
