What is the term for the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time?

Back

Frequency

Front

If a wave has a high frequency, what can be said about its wavelength?

Back

It is short.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in waves?

Back

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases, and vice versa.
