Wave
Wave characteristics
Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel, which allows them to carry energy. The quantity of energy carried relates to the amplitude of the wave.
Sound
The amplitude and frequency of a sound wave can be examined using a microphone and oscilloscope. By measuring the speed of sound we can apply the wave equation to determine its wavelength.
