SUMMARY
The wavelength can be calculated using the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and velocity, expressed in the formula: Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency. Given a measurement of 10cm between phases, the wavelength is directly influenced by the wave's velocity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of unit consistency, where frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), wavelength in meters, and velocity in meters per second (m/s). Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate calculations in wave physics.
