c = λf
where:
* c is the speed of light (approximately 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum)
* λ (lambda) is the wavelength (measured in meters)
* f is the frequency (measured in Hertz, Hz)
This equation tells us:
* The speed of light is constant.
* Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.
Rearranging the equation, you can find:
* λ = c / f (to calculate wavelength if you know the speed of light and frequency)
* f = c / λ (to calculate frequency if you know the speed of light and wavelength)
