Waves
  1. Definition
    1. disturbance
      1. causing energy transfer from one point to the other
        1. without actual movement of the particle
        2. Amplitude
          1. maximum displacement of the particle
            1. from mean position
              1. denoted letterA
                1. SI unit m
                2. Frequency
                  1. no. of periodic oscillations
                    1. in 1 sec
                    2. Time Period
