In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the waveâthe distance over which the wave's shape repeats, and the inverse of the spatial frequency.
The original âCave of the Windsâ was a cavern located behind the Bridal Veil Falls. The Bridal Veil Falls is the smaller waterfall located between Luna Island and Goat Island, beside the American Falls. The Cave of the Winds was an overhanging ledge, consisting of Lockport Dolostone rock, at the top portion of the gorge where the waters of the Bridal Veil Falls flowed over. Originally this portion projected more than 30.5 metres. Due to this overhang of rock, a cavern behind the cascading water was formed.
One common misconception about Niagara Falls is that it is one large waterfall. The truth is, it is made up of three waterfalls: Bridal Veil Falls on the U.S. side, Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, and American Falls on the U.S. side. Bridal Veil Falls is named for its appearance, as its gushing cascades appear similar to a brideâs white veil.
