Word of the day- Wavelength- Its pretty much what it sounds like. It's the length of the wave for one oscillation. The easiest way to measure it is to measure from crest to crest or trough to trough. The length of the wave is related to the speed of the wave divided by the frequency.
Quote of the Day: "All matter originates only by virtue of a force...We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." -Max Planck [Source]
