How are wavelength and frequency related?

In: Science, Chemistry, Waves Vibrations and Oscillations [Edit categories]

Answer:

Wavelength = constant/frequency, frequency = constant/wavelength. If constant = 1 and wavelength is 10, then frequency = 0.1

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related--the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Blue light, for example, has a higher frequency than red light.
