  1. Parts of a Wave

  2. Crest – the highest point of a wave. crest

  3. Trough – the lowest point of a wave. trough

  4. Wavelength – a measure from one point on one wave to the corresponding point on the next wave.Measured in meters.

  5. Wave Speed The distance a wave travels in a specific amount of time. Meters per second

  6. Equilibrium – rest position Equilibrium

  7. Amplitude – the distance a wave rises or falls from the equilibrium.(How big the wave is)You need more energy to make the amplitude larger

  8. Frequency – measurement of how many cycles can happen in a certain amount of time.Frequency is measured in hertz.Example: If a motor makes 50 revolutions in one second, we say it has a frequency of 50 hertz (Hz) per second. http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/lsps07_int_frequency/ http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/schools/lesson1/flash/freq.swf
