Student difficulties measuring distances in terms of wavelength: Lack of basic skills or failure to transfer?
In a previous paper that focused on the transmission of periodic waves at the boundary between two media, we documented difficulties with the basic concepts of wavelength, frequency, and propagation speed, and with the relationship v=fλ. In this paper, we report on student attempts to apply this rel...
