Very basic resource with very little detail. The suggested answer to a question is not technically correct and confused- "To calculate the wavelength –Use a metre ruler to measure across as many half wavelengths as possible (a half wavelength is one loop). Multiply this by two to give you the number of complete wavelengths." Are we measuring length or counting the number of waves? If we are calculating the number of waves then we divide by 2- not multiply!
