Front

The frequency of a wave is measured in _____________.

Back

hertz

Front

Define wavelength.

Back

The distance between successive crests of a wave, typically measured in meters.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front
