Study Notes

Wave Properties and Relationships

The symbol for the wavelength of a wave is λ (lambda).
The height of a wave, also known as amplitude, is determined by the energy of the wave; higher energy results in greater amplitude.
The unit for frequency is hertz (Hz), which measures cycles per second.
Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
The product of frequency and wavelength is used to determine the wave speed (v), represented by the equation v = f × λ, where f is frequency and λ is wavelength.
Higher frequency corresponds to shorter wavelength, while lower frequency corresponds to longer wavelength.
Reiteration that the wave height (amplitude) reflects the energy carried by the wave, affecting its intensity and impact.
