Question

How are the frequency and wavelength of light related?

Answer 1

They are inversely proportional to each other

Answer 2

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of light is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency

c is the speed of the light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

Therefore, from this equation we see that frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength: the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency, and the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
