Waves are nature's way of moving energy from one place to another. There are material waves like ocean waves, which move the energy of the wind onto the beach, or like sound waves which take the form of compression and rarefaction of a liquid or gaseous medium.

Sound waves are in the frequency range 0 to about 400,000 Hz.

Other waves are in the electromagentic spectrum, ranging from radio waves through light. A complete answer to your question, as best one can figure out what you mean, is beyond the scope of Y/A. Try an internet search on "electromagnetic spectrum." You should get some hits that will lead to descriptions of the spectrum and the various frequencies. You could also try asking your teacher.

No they are actually not an identical element. Waves are one observable supplies of electromagnetic radiation and function a defined frequency and wavelength. A ray is fairly a directional vector that encompasses a beam of photons, radio waves, gamma rays and so on. performing the two as waves and debris; the beam would be a million photon or a million photons extensive, it rather is nonetheless referred to as a ray.

The shorter the wavelength, the more intense the light. Visible light is between 445 to 650 nanometers (445-650 x .0000000001) meters. A gamma ray (the most energetic form of light) has a wavelength of about 2.5 × .000000000001 meters.

In general: wavelength is in meters, frequency is in Hertz and velocity is in meters per second.

If you are looking for a specific answer, you may want to append your question.

Depends on the light you have.
