The basic properties (parts) of a wave include: frequency, amplitude, wavelength and speed.
Frequency
Shorter Wavelength = Higher Frequency = Higher Energy
Longer Wavelength = Lower Frequency = Lower Energy
The Pitch of a Sound is Determined by
the Frequency of a Wave
Pitch relates to how high or low the sound is, which in turn depends on the frequency of the vibration.

Topic Tips
- Frequency is a measure of how many waves pass a point in a certain amount of time.
- The higher the frequency, the closer the waves are together and the greater the energy carried by the waves will be.
