Frequently Asked Questions

What is wavelength?

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks of a wave. It's inversely proportional to frequency.

How are wavelength and frequency related?

Wavelength ร— Frequency = Speed. For light: ฮป = c/f, where c is the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s).
