Wavelength
Period Amplitude Transverse Longitudinal |
Distance between two peaks/troughs
Time between two peaks/troughs Max displacment from the zero line e.g. Electromagnetic (right angles to wave direction) e.g. Sound (pulsed, parallel to wave direction) |

Frequency
Wavespeed Reflection Refraction Diffraction |
Number of waves per second Speed of the waves (frequencyx wavelength) Wave is bounced back when it hits a boundary Wave changes direction when it enters a different medium The process of a wave spreading out after a gap or obsruction |
