How are frequency and wavelength related?

Answer 1

Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda =c / f

Answer 2

Wavelength = constant/frequency, frequency = constant/wavelength. If constant = 1 and wavelength is 10, then frequency = 0.1

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related--the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Blue light, for example, has a higher frequency than red light.

Answer 3

Their product is always the wave speed.

Answer 4

Their product is the speed of the wave.
