When drawing a wave or looking at a wave on a graph, we draw the wave as a snapshot in time. The vertical axis is the amplitude of the wave while the horizontal axis can be either distance or time. In this picture you can see that the highest point on the graph of the wave is called the crest and the lowest point is called the trough.
A wave’s crest is its highest point, and its trough is its lowest point. A wave’s amplitude is the maximum distance (positive or negative) a wave reaches from its rest position. Wavelength is the distance between the same spot on two sections of a wave.
Demonstrate understanding of wave properties such as wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, and speed and mathematically relate these properties to one another. Apply the relationship among wave speed, frequency, and wavelength to solve problems.
Amplitude, frequency, wavenumber, and phase shift are properties of waves that govern their physical behavior. Each describes a separate parameter in the most general solution of the wave equation. Together, these properties account for a wide range of phenomena such as loudness, color, pitch, diffraction, and interference.
In this article, we get to grips with the different kinds of waves and look at the key characteristics of all waves – their wavelength, period, frequency, speed and amplitude. These concepts are important for describing waves of all kinds.
