WAVE CHARACTERISTICS Although waves come in a variety of forms (such as water waves, light, and seismic waves), they have some properties in common. Wave Length- the distance between two identical points on a wave Amplitude- the vertical distance from the crest (top) to the midpoint of a wave Wave Height- the vertical distance from top to bottom Frequency – the number of waves that pass a point in one second Crest- high point of a wave Trough- low point of a wave waveheight

Visible Light: ROY G BIV (low to high wavelength) (low to high frequency) (low to high energy)
