- 1EnergyEnergy ∝ A^2 (amplitude)
- 2WavelengthDistance between consecutive points that are in phase (in meters)
- 3Period, TTime for one wavelength to pass a given point (in seconds)
- 4Frequency, FNumber of waves passing a given point per second (hertz, Hz)
- 5Wave speed, Vf(wavelength) = wavelength/period (m/s)
- 6Standing wavesTwo waves with the same frequency and wave length travelling in opposite directions
- 7Distance between consecutive nodeswavelength/2
- 8Distance between a node and the nearest antinodewavelength/4
- 9LongitudinalOscillation is parallel to the path of the wave's direction of travel
- 10TransverseOscillation is perpendicular to the path of the wave's direction
- 11RayParallel to the direction of travel, perpendicular to wavefront
- 12WavefrontCrest of the wave
- 13Ray diagram procedure1. Parallel with principal axis --> converge to focal point 2. Object to other focal point --> parallel to principal axis 3. Straight through optical centre
