"What is meant by the frequency of a wave? What are the units of frequency? Describe the relationship between frequency and wavelength".

Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit time. Frequency units are cycles/s or s-1 or Hertz. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

"Use a diagram to illustrate each term for a wave. a. wavelength b. amplitude c. cycle .

Wavelength- the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave. Amplitude-he distance from the centre line (or the still position) to the top of a crest or to the bottom of a trough. Cycle-The wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, trough to trough,

"Suppose your favorite AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 1150 kHz. What is the wavelength, in centimeters, of the radiation from the station?" .
