Define frequency and give its unit
The number of waves passing through a point per second (Hz)
Define Wavelength
The distance between two adjacent peaks on a wave
Define amplitude
The maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position
How can you find out the time period of a wave using its frequency
T=1/f
What is the phase difference and what is it measured in
How much a particle/wave lags behind another particle/wave. Measured in radians, degrees or fractions of a cycle
