Light Waves

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

If a wave has a greater frequency, what happens to the wavelength?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It stays the same

What is the lowest part of the wave called?

• Crest

• Trough

• Rarefaction

• Wavelength
