1. The document discusses key properties of waves including amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. It defines each property and explains how it relates to the energy carried by a wave.
2. Amplitude is the maximum distance of vibration from the rest position, and waves with larger amplitudes carry more energy since they require more energy to form. Wavelength is the distance between two identical points on waves, and waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.
3. Frequency is the number of waves passing a point per unit time, measured in Hertz. Higher frequency waves have more energy than lower frequency ones. Wave speed depends on the medium and can be calculated using the equation that relates speed, wavelength, and frequency.
