Question

what are the characteristic features of waves?

Answer 1

Hi! Simran

The characteristic features of waves are:

(1) Amplitude: The distance of the wave from the mean position, to the crust, or trough is known as amplitude.

(2) Wavelength: The distance between two adjacent crusts or two adjacent troughs is known as the wavelength.

(3) Period: The time taken for repeating a waveform is known as the period of the wave.

(4) Frequency: The number of waves occurring per unit time is known as frequency of the wave.

(5) Speed: The distance traveled by a wave per unit time is known as the speed of the wave.
