Key Terminology

Wavelength in millimetres [mm]
The physical distance between successive wave peaks measured in millimetres; often related to frequency by λ = c / f in vacuum.
Wavelength in kilometres
The length of one full wave cycle expressed in kilometres, calculated as wave speed divided by frequency.
Propagation speed
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium, which affects its wavelength.
