OK, I picked this up on another board,a nd seeing that Eisboch, Tom,
Gene and Larry have had dealings with this stuff. I thought I'd
present it here. It has my curiosity up as well.

Wavelength is the length measurement from the beginning to the end of
one full cycle. Or think of it another way, the distance a wave at a
given frequency to travel from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.

Frequency is the number of wave periods passing a point in time and is
inversely proportional to wavelength - the higher the frequency of the
signal, the shorter the wavelength.
