Waves basics

• What is amplitude in wave basics?

  The maximum displacement from undisturbed position
• How is wavelength defined?

  The distance between two adjacent waves
• What does frequency measure?

  The number of complete waves per second
• How is frequency measured?

  In Hertz (Hz), which is waves per second
• What is the relationship between Hertz and waves?

  1 Hz equals 1 wave per second
• What is the period of a wave?

  The time for a full cycle to pass a point
• How can you find the period of a wave?

  Using the formula: $T =$$1/F$
• What does the variable T represent in wave formulas?

  The period of the wave
• What is the significance of the formula $T =$$1/F$?


  It relates period and frequency of waves
