Question

Define amplitude,time piriod,frequency,wave length and wave number regarding waves

Answer 1

Answer:

1. amplitude is the height of a crest or trough
2. time period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.T=1/frequency
3. frequency is the no. of oscillations in one second. Frequency=1/time period
4. wave length is the distance b/w two adjacent crest or trough
5. wave number is defined as 1/wave length
