The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position
1 of 5
Wavelength
The minimum distance between two points on a wave oscillating in phase
2 of 5
T (Period)
Time to produce one wave
3 of 5
Diffraction
The spreading out of waves as they pass through a gap
4 of 5
Superposition
When 2 waves are in the same place at the same time, interference occurs. The resultant displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements of each wave.
