1. Frequency and Wavelength:
* Inversely proportional: Frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) are inversely proportional. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
* Relationship: This relationship is described by the following equation:
* v = fλ
* where 'v' is the wave's speed (constant for a given medium).
* Example: A high-frequency radio wave has a short wavelength, while a low-frequency radio wave has a long wavelength.
2. Amplitude and Frequency/Wavelength:
* Independent: Amplitude is independent of both frequency and wavelength.
* Explanation: Amplitude describes the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. It represents the wave's intensity or strength.
* Example: Two sound waves can have the same frequency (pitch) but different amplitudes (loudness).
In Summary:
* Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, meaning they change in opposite directions.
* Amplitude is independent of frequency and wavelength.
It's important to remember that this applies to waves in general, including light waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves.
