Source sentences:
text: Standard values of the speed of sound are quoted in the limit of low frequencies, where the wavelength is large compared to the mean free path.
text: If the wavelength is twice as large, then the frequency is twice as small.
text: If the wavelength is twice as large, then the frequency is twice as small.
text: From the human point of view, wavelength of sound is relatively large while wavelength of light is relatively small (diffraction of sound is stronger than diffraction of light, so sound can get around obstacles while light seems to travel in a straight line).
