Frequency is how many waves pass a certain point during an amount of time. Wavelength is the distance between two points. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in Physics. If the distance between the peaks of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. If the distance is increased, the frequency decreases.

What does pitch mean in science terms?
Pitch as in sound, ie physics relates to frequency measured in cycles per second or more popularly hertz (Hz). Further study: This is also dependent on the wavelength of a soundwave, as if the wave is longer, it will take longer for the cycle to pass from one crest of a wave to the next crest etc
What is monochromatic in physics terms?
Mono means single Chrome means colour So monochromatic means single coloured light Example: Light coming from Sodium vapour lamp ---- Monochromatic means (light) of a single frequency or, what is the same thing, of the same wavelength.
Describe the relationship between the wavelength and it's energy?
c is the speed of sound or the speed of light. You must know what you need. There is a relationship between the wavelength lambda and the frequency f. But forget the energy! c= lambda times f f is proportional to 1 / lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
What kind of energy produces light?
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, and depending on the wavelength specified, various types of energy from radio waves to gamma rays can be produced, gamma rays being of the highest energy and the shortest wavelength.
What is pitch in terms of sound?
Either frequency or wavelength.
What pitch in terms of sounds?
Either frequency or wavelength.
Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?
Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.

What is the relationship between wave speed and frequency and wavelength?
(frequency) multiplied by (wavelength) = (wave speed)
In classical physics how does an atomic oscillator behave when heated in terms of energy emissions?
The oscillator starts at relatively low frequency and emits electromagnetic radiation of relatively low frequency (or long wavelength) and low intensity. As the heating continues, the frequency of oscillation also increases as does the frequency of the emitted radiation and the intensity of the radiation. A graph of intensity vs. wavelength would start high on the left (at short wavelengths) and fall off to the right exponentially to low intensity at long wavelengths. This graph would be at odds with the experimentally established graph of intensity vs. wavelength(which shows low intensity at short wavelengths) because the classical assumption that frequency of oscillation can increase continuously as the oscillators are heated is not correct. Frequency of oscillation can increase only in integral multiples of the fundamenal frequency.
What is the distance between a point on a wave and the corresponding point on an adjacent wave?
The wavelength.Related Information:Wavelength and frequency are related by the formula:Wavelength = Speed / Frequency.Early in the history of radio, transmission signals were measured in terms of wavelength, hence the term: short waveradio.
How can you tell the wave has energy in itAnswer in terms of work?
Telling which wave has energy in it is easy. The higher the frequency and the lower the wavelength have the highest energy.
What is Bandwidth and what's its relation with wavelength?
Bandwidth is the output of some light source, the width of the frequency range which can be transmitted by some element, the gain bandwidth of an optical amplifierthe width of the range of some other phenomenon. It's values may be specified in terms of frequency or wavelength.
What is short wavelenght?
Generally the term "short wavelength" is used to describe light but it can be used for any wave. It means the distance between one wave front and another is only short. Given that, you might get the idea that "short wavelength" is a relative term. In radio, the term short wavelength is almost obsolete. If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. After radio waves, electromagnetic waves go to infrared, visible light, xrays then gamma rays as the wavelength gets shorter.
Measure of sound?
Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.
