| Wave | A traveling disturbance that carries energy |
| Amplitude | Measure of maximum height or depth of a wave from its rest position |
| Frequency | How many waves pass a point each second (measured in hertz) |
| Wavelength | The distance between identical points on consecutive waves |
| Crest | The highest point of a wave |
| Trough | The lowest point of a wave |
| Wave Speed | How fast a wave travels (distance per unit time) |
| Wave Equation formula for 𝑣 | __ = f×λ (__= frequency × wavelength) |
| Wave Equation formula for f | __ = 𝑣/λ (__= velocity ÷ wavelength) |
| Wave Equation formula for λ | __ = 𝑣/f (__= velocity ÷ frequency) |
| Inverse Proportion | A relationship where one value goes up as the other goes down |
| Medium | The substance through which wave travels |
| Hertz (Hz) | The unit of frequency; one hertz = one wave per second |
| Lambda (λ) | The symbol used to represent wavelength |
