They are unrelated to vibrations.
They can travel in a vacuum
They cannot travel through liquids

Wave velocity = Wavelength × Frequency

Thus, we can say that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

FALSE - Only electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum; mechanical waves such as sound waves require a particle-interaction to transport their energy. There are no particles in a vacuum.
