5-Physics-Wave-Properties

amplitude of wave

Acceleration amount determines maximum displacement {amplitude, wave}. Mass displacement has distance oscillation. Zero-rest-mass displacement, as in electromagnetic waves, has field oscillation.

intensity of wave

Sound and light have energy flow per second per area {intensity, wave}|, which is power per area.

wave number

Wavelength has an inverse {wave number}|.

straight-line motion

Light rays travel in straight lines {straight-line motion}, because they follow least-action path.
