- A particular wave is characterized by three properties:
- Wavelength
- Frequency
- Speed
- Wavelength
- Frequency
- Speed
- Wavelength (λ)
- is the distance between 2 consecutive peaks or 2 consecutive valleys
- Frequency (F)
- indicates how many waves peaks in a given time.
- Speed (v)
- is how fast the wave is moving.
Equation
- s= λ*f
- Speed=wavelength*frequency
