Step 1

Wavelength is the distance between the two point’s successive highest points or lowest points in a wave. It is measured in the direction of wave.

Frequency is the number of repetitions of one complete wave cycle.

Step 2

In the electromagnetic spectrum there are many different types of waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths. They are all related by one important equation: Any electromagnetic wave's frequency multiplied by its wavelength equals the speed of light.

FREQUENCY x WAVELENGTH = SPEED OF LIGHT
