1 Answer

Jul 4, 2018

They are related through the speed of light $c$ $c$ .

Explanation:

The general relationship between frequency $f$ $f$ and wavelength $λ$ $lambda$ is given as:

$c = λ \cdot f$ $c=lambda*f$

where $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ $c=3xx10^8m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum.
