Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of wave is the distance cover by the wav in a given period of time.

The relation of wave speed with frequency and wavelength is given below,

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

Frequency and wavelength of lights are inversely proportional to each other.

The wave of light having highest frequency have shortest wavelength and the light with the shortest frequency having highest wavelength.

c = λ × f

λ = c/f

This formula shows that both are inversely related to each other.

The speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency is taken in Hz.

It is the number of oscillations, wave of light make in one second.

Wavelength is designated as "λ" and it is the measured in meter. It is the distance between the two crust of two trough.
