==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Wave Properties''' are the features of a [[Wavewave]] that describe the [[wave]].
===About Wave Properties===
The '''wave properties''' you should know are:
*[[Frequency]] - How many times the [[wave]] [[oscillation|oscillateoscillates]] 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.

===About Wave Properties===
The '''wave properties''' you should know are:
*[[Frequency]] - How many times the [[wave]] [[oscillation|oscillates]] in one [[second]].
*[[Period]] - The time taken between two identical points on adjacent [[wave]]s passing a location.
*[[Wavelength]] - The distance between two identical points on adjacent [[wave]]s.
*[[Amplitude]] - The maximum [[displacement]] of a [[wave]] from its equilibrium position.
*[[Wave Speed]] - How quickly the [[wave]] moves from one location to another.
