Wavelength, frequency, f speed, V amplitude, A direction velocity,

velocity is the rate of change of the position of an object (m/s). For example, a car moving at a constant 20 kilometres per hour in a circular path has a constant speed, but does not have a constant velocity because its direction changes.

Water Waves

Refraction

Wavelength : the wavelength of the refracted waves in the denser medium (or shallower depth) is shorter Angle of refraction : When waves propagate from a less dense medium to a denser medium , the angle of refraction is lesser than the angle of incident.
