λ = v / f
Where:
* λ (lambda) represents the wavelength
* v represents the speed of the wave (e.g., the speed of light for electromagnetic waves)
* f represents the frequency of the wave
Explanation:
* Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
* Speed is the distance traveled by the wave per unit of time.
* Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second.
Therefore, the equation states that the wavelength of a wave is directly proportional to its speed and inversely proportional to its frequency.
