In an equation, wavelength is represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ). Depending on the type of wave, wavelength can be measured in meters, centimeters, or nanometers (1 m = 109 nm). The frequency, represented by the Greek letter nu (ν), is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

Hope this helps :))

the longer the wavelength, lower the frequency. In the same manner, shorter the wavelength, higher will be the frequency.

  • Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.
