  • frequency is the number of complete waves passing a certain point per second
  • frequency is measured in Hertz(Hz)
  • amplitude is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its undisturbed position
  • wavelength is the distance between the same point or 2 adjacent waves
  • period of the wave is the amount of time it takes for a full cycle of the wave to pass a point
