Key Stage 3
Meaning
Wave Properties are the features of a wave that describe the wave.
About Wave Properties
The wave properties you should know are:
- Frequency - How many times the wave oscillates in one second.
- Wavelength - How long the wave is.
- Amplitude - How high the wave peak is from the mid point of the wave.
- Wave Speed - How quickly the wave is transmitted.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Wave Properties are the features of a wave that describe the wave.
About Wave Properties
The wave properties you should know are:
- Frequency - How many times the wave oscillates in one second.
- Period - The time taken between two identical points on adjacent waves passing a location.
- Wavelength - The distance between two identical points on adjacent waves.
- Amplitude - The maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position.
- Wave Speed - How quickly the wave moves from one location to another.
