Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A wave where the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Front

Define wavelength.

Back

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As wavelength decreases, frequency increases.
