Frequency (Physics)

Summary: All waves have three important features: amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. You can see these in Figure 1. - Amplitude is the distance from the middle of the wave to the top or bottom of the wave. - Frequency is the number of waves that pass a particular point per second. - Wavelength is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave.
