The prevalence of HoFH is markedly increased in certain regions of the world and may be as high as one in thirty thousand in some populations. Populations with a very high prevalence of HoFH include Afrikaners in South Africa, French Canadians, Christian Lebanese and Japanese from the Hokuriku district.
Wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between two identical adjacent points in a wave. It is typically measured between two easily identifiable points, such as two adjacent crests or troughs in a waveform.avelength is inversely proportional to frequency. That means if two waves are traveling at the same speed, the wave with a higher frequency will have a shorter wavelength. Likewise, if one wave has a longer wavelength than another wave, it will also have a lower frequency if both waves are traveling at the same speed.
A wavelength is the distance in between the repeating units of a wave, as measured from one point on a wave to the corresponding point in the next unit. For example, the distance from the top -- called the crest -- of one wave unit to the crest of the next is one wavelength.avelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave. In other words, the shorter the wavelength is, the more wave units will pass in a given amount of time. A wave is simply energy that moves through a medium. Outside of the context of physics, ocean waves are an excellent example of how waves work.
