Due:
The wavelength and frequency of a wave are related to one another by the speed of travel of the wave, which depends on the type of wave and the medium through which it is passing.
A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
By the end of the eighth grade students should know that: Wave behavior can be described in terms of how fast the disturbance spreads, and in terms of the distance between successive peaks of the disturbance (the wavelength).
