Waves

• What is wavelength?

  Distance between the same points on two consecutive waves
• What is Amplitude?

  Distance from equilibrium line to the maximum displacement (crest or trough )
• What is Frequency?

  The number of waves that pass a single point per second
• What is period?

  The time taken for a whole wave to completely pass a single point
• How do you calculate period?

  period = 1/frequency

  T = 1/f
• How do you calculate the velocity of a wave?

  Velocity = frequency x wavelength

  $v=$$f\lambda$
