Time period
time taken for one wavelength or oscillation
Phase difference
a term used to compare the displacements and relative motions of particles in a wave (usually in degrees or radians)
Particles can be in phase or in antiphase
Wave equation
velocity = frequency*wavelength
Intensity formula
intensity = power / area
Intensity relationship with amplitude
Intensity ∝ amplitude^2
Wavefront
2D representation of a wave by joining a crest or trough of a wave
