Explanation

Mass is not a characteristic of a wave.

The characteristics of a wave include:

• Amplitude (the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position)
• Period (the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation)
• Velocity (the speed at which the wave travels)
• Wavelength (the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase)
• Frequency (the number of oscillations per unit time)
