Wave Properties: Amplitude, Frequency, and Wavelength

Wave Properties: Amplitude, Frequency, and Wavelength

Have you ever watched waves roll onto a beach and wondered how they work? Well, those wavy patterns happen all around us—not just in the sea. Sound, light, radio signals, even how you see and hear—these all involve waves. In science, waves carry energy from one place to another. They do it without actually moving any matter along with them.

So today, we’re diving into wave properties: amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. These are just fancy names for how big a wave is, how fast it vibrates, and how far apart the waves are. Sounds tricky? Don’t worry—I’ll explain everything step by step. By the end, you’ll see that waves aren’t mysterious at all—they’re just full of energy, patterns, and surprises.
