Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g) × height (h).

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as wavelength increases, frequency decreases, and vice versa.
