Unit: Sound and Light Lesson 2: Properties of Waves Essential Questions: 1.) What are the amplitude, wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave?
What are the properties of waves? Amplitude is the maximum distance the medium vibrates from the rest position Amplitude Amplitude
Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
Speed is how quickly a wave moves Light waves travel much faster than sound waves.
