Properties of Waves

Amplitude is

• The distance between two crests

• The distance from rest to crest

• The number of waves per second

• The speed of a wave

Wavelength is

• The distance between two crests

• The distance from rest to crest

• The number of waves per second

• The speed of a wave

Frequency is

• The distance between two crests

• The distance from rest to crest

• The number of waves per second

• The speed of a wave
