Wavelength and frequency are inversely related so that longer waves have lower frequencies, and shorter waves have higher frequencies. In the visual system, a light wave's wavelength is generally associated with color, and its amplitude is associated with brightness.

Explanation:

  1. Visual and auditory stimuli both occur in the form of waves. Although the two stimuli are very different in terms of composition, wave forms share similar characteristics that are especially important to our visual and auditory perceptions. Waveforms of different types surround us at all times, however we only have receptors which are sensitive to specific types of wavelengths. In this section, we describe the physical properties of the waves as well as the perceptual experiences associated with them.

AMPLITUDE AND WAVELENGTH

  • Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength (figure below). The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

 

The amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough. The wavelength is measured from peak to peak.

 

   Wavelength is directly related to the frequency of a given wave form. Frequency refers to the number of waves that pass a given point in a given time period and is often expressed in terms of hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Longer wavelengths will have lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies

Sources of oxygen and how the fish in water gets oxygen<br>​
WITCHER [35]

This process requires large volumes of water to pass through absorption surfaces to get enough oxygen into their bodies using their mouths and gills. These body parts work like a pump to keep water moving over the gas absorption surfaces of the gills.

Which term refers to fibrous connective tissues that connect bone to bone and provide static and dynamic stability as well as in
Tom [10]

Answer:

Ligament

Explanation:

The ligament is a primary connective tissue which connects one bone to another bone in the skeletal system of humans. The ligaments are present is the ankles, knee, elbows and shoulders and in other joints.

The ligaments if broken cannot be regenerated and provides many functions like it provides guidance, input to the nervous system and provides stability to the bones and facilitates the movement.

Thus, Ligament is the correct answer.
