Answer:

The velocity of light, v, is the product of its wavelength, λ , and its frequency, f. This means that the wavelength is the velocity, v, divided by the frequency, f.

Wavelength of light = velocity of light / frequency of light

λ = v/f

λ = Wavelength of light, meters

v = Velocity of light (c = 3.0 x 108 m, for speed of light if not otherwise defined)

f = frequency of light, Hz
