Answer to Question #58775 in Field Theory for djofficial

Question

what's the difference between frequency and wavelength?

Answer 1

Wavelength represents the distance between the points of the wave, which oscillate in phase. Wavelength is equal to the distance covered by a moving wave during one period.
Frequency represents the number of oscillations during a timespan, or the number of waves passing by specific point during a timespan. Value of frequency is inverse to the period.
