Question
how are the frequency and wavelength of light related?
they are directly proportional to each other.
wavelength is determined by dividing frequency by the speed of light.
frequency equals wavelength divided by the speed of light.
they are inversely proportional to each other.
The relationship between the frequency ($f$) and wavelength ($\lambda$) of light is given by the formula $c = f\lambda$, where $c$ is the speed of light (a constant). Rearranging this formula gives $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ or $\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$. This shows that when one (frequency or wavelength) increases, the other decreases.
