∙ 14y agoTo calculate wavelength:
Speed = wavelength x frequency Frequency = speed / wavelength Wavelength = speed / frequency
For the given wave traveling at 35 cm/s and a frequency of 25 Hz: Wavelength = 35 cm/s / 25 Hz = 1.4 cm.
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional; as wavelength decreases, frequency increases. Energy is directly proportional to frequency; higher frequency corresponds to higher energy. In summary, shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and higher energy levels.
A wave with low frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional: as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
The three quantities used to describe a wave are wavelength (distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase), amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position), and frequency (number of complete waves passing a point per unit time).
The vibration of the colored ribbon can be described by its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. The amplitude represents the maximum displacement of the ribbon from its resting position, the frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time, and the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points on the ribbon that are in phase.
The property of a wave that describes its length is the wavelength. This is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave. Wavelength is usually denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ).
it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases

The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged by wavelength, with shorter wavelengths on one end and longer wavelengths on the other end. It encompasses a range of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The spectrum also organizes these waves based on their energy, frequency, and applications.

Crest and Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency
The three quantities used to describe a wave are wavelength (distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase), amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position), and frequency (number of complete waves passing a point per unit time).
The wave speed is (frequency) x (wavelength) = 342 meters per second.We can't describe its velocity, because we don't have any informtion aboutits direction, beamwidth, etc.
The vibration of the colored ribbon can be described by its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. The amplitude represents the maximum displacement of the ribbon from its resting position, the frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time, and the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points on the ribbon that are in phase.
Generally the term "short wavelength" is used to describe light but it can be used for any wave. It means the distance between one wave front and another is only short. Given that, you might get the idea that "short wavelength" is a relative term. In radio, the term short wavelength is almost obsolete. If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. After radio waves, electromagnetic waves go to infrared, visible light, xrays then gamma rays as the wavelength gets shorter.
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 12/2 = 6 per second = 6 Hz.Note:The question doesn't give enough information to describe the velocity. "12" is nota velocity, but it can be a speed, and we've assumed that it is. Fortunately, 'speed'is all we need to answer the question.

Waves have wavelength and frequency, which are characteristics that particles do not possess. These properties describe the spacial and temporal characteristics of a wave, defining its behavior and interactions.
