20   This relationship is always true— as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. f ↑ = λ↓

21

22 SPEED = WAVELENGTH X FREQUENCY v = λ x f Example: (do on your own) λ = 3 m, f = 10 Hz

25 If you’ve ever been knocked over by an ocean wave, you know that the higher the wave, the more energy it carries.
