Definition- frequency describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

From this Definition, we can state_____.

Short wavelength =higher frequency
Long wavelength =higher frequency
Short wavelength = lower frequency

1 answer

From the definition provided, we can state:

  • Short wavelength = higher frequency

This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as the wavelength decreases (shortens), the frequency increases, and vice versa. Therefore, longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies.

So, the correct statements would be:

  • Short wavelength = higher frequency
  • Long wavelength = lower frequency

The statement "Long wavelength = higher frequency" is incorrect.
