(N/A) Wavelength: The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions of a sound wave. It is denoted by $\lambda$ and measured in meters $(m)$.
Frequency: The frequency is the number of sound wave oscillations produced in one second. It is measured in Hertz $(Hz)$.
Time period: The time period is the time taken to complete one full oscillation or to produce one complete wave of sound. It is denoted by $T$ and measured in seconds $(s)$.
Amplitude: The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles of the medium from their mean position as the wave passes through. It is denoted by $A$.
