Amplitude
The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of a particle or point on a wave from its equilibrium position. It provides a measure of how high or low the wave is.
Frequency
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete waves passing through a fixed point in a given amount of time. It is expressed in hertz (Hz) and is inversely related to the period of a wave.
Wavelength
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between consecutive points in a wave that are the same distance apart. It is also equal to the distance traveled by a wave crest or trough in one complete cycle. The wavelength is measured in meters (m) and is an important parameter in describing the structure of waves in different media
