Front

Define wavelength in the context of waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

How do you calculate frequency if you know the speed and wavelength of a wave?

Back

Frequency = Speed / Wavelength
