Key Terminology
-
Wavelength in Decimetres
-
The spatial period of a wave measured in decimetres, indicating the distance between successive identical points on the wave.
-
Dekahertz (daHz)
-
An SI-derived unit of frequency equal to 10 Hertz, often used to describe frequencies in the tens of hertz range.
-
Frequency-Wavelength Relationship
-
A wave property where frequency equals the propagation speed divided by wavelength, fundamental to converting between these units.
