Interpretation: The
Concept interpretation:Wavelength is the length of the waves involved in Energy Transmission.
Answer to Problem 5A
Frequency is defined as the number of waves that passes through a certain specified point in one second. And wavelength is the distance between two successive crest and trough. Wavelength is the measure of length of one complete wave.
Explanation of Solution
Frequency tells how many times a wave oscillates in one second.
Wavelength is the length of one complete wave. One wavelength is equal to the distance between two successive wave crest and troughs. Frequency is equal to the number of waves that passes through a given point per second.
Wavelength is basically the length from one crest or tough to the corresponding trough or crest of a wave, whereas frequency is a number of waves passes a point in given time.
