Plenary
1

The frequency tells us the distance between one point on a wave and the same point on the next wave

1

The amplitude tells us the displacement of the wave from its resting position

1

The period is the time taken to complete one wavelength

1

Waves transfer matter and energy.

1

Light waves are transverse waves.
