What is a vacuum? 

• A space with only air in it
• A space with NO matter at all present
• A machine you use to do your chores

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern

• high energy and long wavelength

• low energy and short wavelength

• low energy and long wavelength
