Wave Characteristics
Amplitude (A)- the height of a wave; the amount of energy a wave has.
Crest- highest part of the wave
Trough- The lowest part of the wave
Wavelength (λ)-The length of 1 complete cycle (1 crest + 1 trough)
Frequency (f)- the number of cycles per second
9
Relationship between frequency, wavelength and energy?
Shorter wavelengths and higher the frequency -> greater energy.
Longer wavelengths and lower the frequency -> lower energy.
