What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
Is it true or false that the greater the frequency of the wave in a particular medium the greater the speed of the medium.?
False. The medium is assumed to be resting in any case. If you refer to the speed of the wave, in the case of most wave that is more or less independent of the wave's frequency.
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
Do the two terms wave speed and wave frequency refer to the same thing?
No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength
How do you refer to a wave?
By it's frequency

What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.

No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength
How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?
The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
What is the relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a FULL-wave rectifier?
The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave. If the input is a square wave, the output is DC. If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
