Properties of Waves

Review Rest Position

Amplitude The maximum distance the wave vibrates from the rest position Measured from the rest position to the crest or trough Large amplitude = tall wave = more energy

Which wave has the most energy?

What unit would you use to measure amplitude?

Wavelength The distance between any two adjacent crests or compressions in a series of waves Always equal

What unit would you use to measure wavelength?

Frequency The number of waves produced in a given amount of time Measured by counting the number of crests or troughs SI unit = Hertz (Hz) = 1 wave per second

Frequency Higher frequency = shorter wavelength = more energy
