Wave Motion

The video introduces the concept of waves, explaining how they transfer energy without moving matter, using the example of a Mexican wave. It covers key properties of waves: frequency, period, wavelength, and amplitude. Frequency is the number of complete waves passing a point per second, measured in hertz. The period is the time for one complete cycle, while wavelength is the distance between similar points on consecutive waves. Amplitude is the height of the wave from its undisturbed position. The video concludes with a prompt to explore wave speed in future content.

Describe what amplitude means in relation to waves.

How can you relate the concepts of frequency, period, and wavelength?
