Physics Form 5: Chapter 1 - Properties of Wave

• Amplitude, A  is the maximum displacement of a particle from the equilibrium position. The amplitude is a measure of energy carried by the wave. The higher the wave energy, the higher the amplitude.
• Wavelength is the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs.
• Period, T  is the time taken for a complete oscillation of a particle of a wave.

• Frequency, f  is the number of complete oscillations performed by a particle of a wave in one second.
