The frequency of the wave multiplied by the wavelength equals the speed of light. The speed of light, abbreviated "c", is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 km per second. This is a constant.
What's more, according to Einstein's theories of relativity, the is invariant (doesn't change) across all frames of reference.

Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
Which color refracts most?
Violet because it has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency
Is red light more intense than violet light?
Intensity is independent of the wavelength/frequency.
What 2 planets can be seen from earth?
There are actually five planets that can be seen from Earth. They are Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury. Sometimes they are visible to the human eye but sometimes binoculars are needed.
What does a blue and red shift of absorption lines in a spectrum indicate?
Blue shift is a decrease of a signal's wavelength, and/or an increase in its frequency, due to the Doppler Effect. This indicates that the object is moving towards the observer.Red shift is the increase of a signal's wavelength, and/or a decrease in its frequency, due to the Doppler Effect. This indicates that the object is moving away from the observer.
What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
What is the equation for frequency?
Frequency = Wave speed / Wavelength.
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
What is the equation for the relationship between frquency and wavelength?
For a single wave: Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)
What is the equation for frequency of a wave?
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
What is the equation showing the relationship between the frequency (v) and wavelength (λ) of?
Frequency divided by 300 equals Wavelength
Equation that relates the speed of a wave to its frequency and wavelength?
Speed(v) = wavelength(λ) x frequency(f).
What is the equation for calculating frequency?
Frequency F = h/energy = c/wavelength
Term that describes relationship between wavelength and frequency?
Wave velocity is the product of wavelength and frequency. ?In equation form:v = (lambda)(nu)
What is the equation for frequency wave speed and wave lenght?
Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?
If only there were an equation that related the speed of EM waves, wavelength, and frequency... c=(wavelength)(frequency) Make sure and keep your units straight.
What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
