This equation helps explain
the relationship of sonic
velocity () within the host
material, the frequency (f)
selected for use by the technician, and the resultant
wavelength () determined by the ratio.

The length of a sound wave measured from trough
to trough, or crest to crest, is always the same. This
distance is known as the wavelength ().
