Properties of Waves 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWavesGCSEAQA Created by: NatmacCreated on: 05-02-19 18:40 What is amplitude? Amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from its undisturbed position 1 of 8 Where is the amplitude wave vibrate from? From the undisturbed position 2 of 8 What is wavelength? The wavelength of a wave is the distance from a point on one wave to equivalent on the adjacent wave. 3 of 8 How do we wavelength on a longitudinal wave? We measure from one compression to the next compression or from one rarefaction to the next rarefaction 4 of 8 What is the frequency? The number of waves passing a point each second. 5 of 8 What is the unit of frequency? Hertz (Hz) 6 of 8 What is a Hertz equivalent too? 1 wave per second 7 of 8 What is the equation for frequency? Period (s)=1 / frequency (Hz) 8 of 8
