What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

The distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Back

Longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave travel, while transverse waves oscillate perpendicular.

Back

Frequency (f) = 1 / Period (T)

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases, and vice versa.
