Question 1.
What is wavelength?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we measure distance between wave crests.
Question 2.
How does frequency relate to wavelength?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how more waves in a given time affect the distance between them.
3Question 3.
What is the wavelength of light?
- The distance between two peaks
- The speed of light
- The number of waves per second
Show hintHide hint
Remember how we measure distances between wave features.
4Question 4.
True or False: Higher frequency means shorter wavelength.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how increasing wave counts affects distances.
Question 5.
If a light wave has a wavelength of 500 nm and a frequency of 600 THz, check if the wave properties align with the equation c = λf.

Think about how to convert units first!
Question 6.
A laser beam is shining through a narrow slit, resulting in diffraction. Explain how you would expect the light pattern to change as the slit gets narrower.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how waves behave when they encounter obstacles.
