  • Electromagnetic Wave Speed: Calculation & Constant Velocity
    The speed of an electromagnetic wave is constant and is equal to the speed of light, which is approximately:

    * c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

    This is true regardless of the frequency or wavelength of the wave.

    While the provided frequency and wavelength are related to the speed of light through the equation:

    * c = fλ

    where:

    * c is the speed of light

    * f is the frequency

    * λ is the wavelength

    It's important to note that the speed of light remains constant. The equation is used to calculate either the frequency or wavelength if one of them is unknown.
