What is the connection between wavelength and crustal structure?

In summary, the connection between wavelength and crustal structure lies in the fact that shorter wavelengths are able to penetrate deeper into the Earth's crust, providing more detailed information about its structure. This is because shorter wavelengths have a higher frequency and energy, allowing them to better resolve smaller features within the crust. On the other hand, longer wavelengths are better for mapping larger structures and variations in crustal thickness. Overall, the relationship between wavelength and crustal structure is crucial in understanding the composition and properties of the Earth's crust.
