Wave per unit distance (typically per meter), can be associated with the wavelength by the relation The period formula_33 is the time for one complete cycle of an oscillation of a wave. The frequency formula_34 is the number of periods per unit time (per second) and is typically measured in hertz denoted as Hz. These are related by: In other words, the frequency and period of a wave are reciprocals. The angular frequency formula_28 represents the frequency in radians per second. It is related to the frequency or period by The wavelength formula_30 of a sinusoidal waveform traveling at constant speed
Genetic distance and Reynolds, Weir and Cockerham's genetic distance, listed below. In all the formulae in this section, formula_1 and formula_2 represent two different populations for which formula_3 loci have been studied. Let formula_4 represent the formula_5 allele at the formula_6 locus. In 1972, Masatoshi Nei published what came to be known as Nei's standard genetic distance. This distance has the nice property that if the rate of genetic change (amino acid substitution) is constant per year or generation then Nei's standard genetic distance ("D") increases in proportion to divergence time. This measure assumes that genetic differences are caused by mutation and
