Parts of a Wave

crest Crest – the highest point of a wave.

trough Trough – the lowest point of a wave.

Wavelength – a measure from one point on one wave to the corresponding point on the next wave. Measured in meters.

 The distance a wave travels in a specific amount of time.  Meters per second Wave Speed

Equilibrium Equilibrium – rest position

Amplitude – the distance a wave rises or falls from the equilibrium. (How big the wave is) You need more energy to make the amplitude larger

uency/ freq.swf Frequency – measurement of how many cycles can happen in a certain amount of time. Frequency is measured in hertz. Example: If a motor makes 50 revolutions in one second, we say it has a frequency of 50 hertz (Hz) per second.
