Key Terminology
-
Wavelength in terametres
-
The spatial distance between adjoining wave crests expressed in terametres (1 terametre = 10^12 metres), representing extremely long wavelengths.
-
Wavelength in decimetres
-
The spatial period of a wave expressed in decimetres (1 decimetre = 0.1 metre), commonly used in radio frequency and microwave engineering.
