Wave properties cont.

 Associated with wave’s energy ◦ Proportional to the square of the amplitude ◦ Bigger amplitude  more energy  Measured from the equilibrium point (where the medium is at rest) to the maximum displacement

 Period (T) ◦ The time it takes for a wave to complete a whole cycle ◦ Measured in seconds  Frequency (f ) ◦ Number of complete oscillations a wave makes every second ◦ Units: hertz (Hz)  1 Hz=1/s ◦ f = 1/T

 Wavelength ( ) ◦ Length of one full wave ◦ Measured from crest to crest (peak to peak) or trough to trough

 How fast the wave moves through the medium  Depends on the medium the wave moves through  Can use
