- 1AmplitudeThe amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.
- 2WavelengthThe wavelength of a wave describes how long the wave is. The distance from the "crest" (top) of one wave to the crest of the next wave is the wavelength. Alternately, we can measure from the "trough" (bottom) of one wave to the trough of the next wave and get the same value for the wavelength.
- 3FrequencyThe Number of the per second
- 4What is the unit of frequency?Hertz
- 5How is the ''high'' or ''low'' a sound is ?Pitch
