In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In other words, it is the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase on the wave, such as two adjacent crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
- Wavelength is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns.
- The inverse of the wavelength is called the spatial frequency.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Wavelength article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Wavelength
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
