Virtually all of our "formulas" for things were the result of equations 
based on simplifying assumptions that made the solutions easier. When 
applying these "formulas," it's critical to remember what those 
simplifying assumptions were.

For example, Zo = sqrt(L/C) is based on F being high. The transmission 
line equation is complex, so Zo varies with frequency, as do Vf and 
attenuation.
