What are frequency and wavelength and how are they related?

• Frequency is the number of waves per second, and wavelength is the distance between waves; they are inversely related.

• Frequency is the distance between waves, and wavelength is the number of waves per second; they are directly related.

• Frequency and wavelength are both measures of wave speed; they are not related.

• Frequency and wavelength are both measures of wave amplitude; they are directly related.
