I. Waves & Particles Electrons in Atoms
A. Waves Wavelength ( ) - length of 1 complete wave Frequency ( ) - # of waves that pass a point during a certain time period hertz (Hz) = 1/s zAmplitude (A) - distance from the origin to the trough or crest
A. Waves A greater amplitude (intensity) greater frequency (color) crest origin trough A
