Question 1

Frequency

Answer 1

• Is the number of oscillations per second
• Frequency = No of oscillation/time
  -Hz

Question 2

Period

Answer 2

• Is the time taken to complete one oscillation
• Period = 1/Frequency

Question 3

Amplitude

Answer 3

• Is the largest displacement that a point on the wave moves from rest point

Question 4

Wavelength

Answer 4

• Is the distance between two wavefronts

Question 5

Intensity

Answer 5

• Is defined as time-averaged power transferred per area space
• I is directly proportional to amplitude^2
