In a wave, the individual particles oscillates up and down about the equilibrium position.
The particles do not travel in the direction of the propagation of the wave.
The various properties of a wave are related by the following equations:
| v = f λ = | λ |
| _______ |
| T |
|
| ω = 2πf = | 2π |
| _______ |
| T |
where v = velocity, f = frequency, λ = wavelength, T = period, ω = angular velocity
