What is Wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is a measurement of how long a wave is, typically measured from one peak to the next peak or from one valley to the next valley.

How does wavelength relate to frequency?

Back

When the wavelength is longer, the frequency is slower/lower.

What is the difference between a Compression and a Rarefaction?

Back

Compression is a region in a sound wave where particles are close together, while rarefaction is a region where particles are spread apart.
