Explanation of Solution

Wavelength:

A wavelength is the distance between the consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.  The symbol used for wavelength is lambda (λ).

Frequency:

Frequency describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.  The symbol used for wavelength is usually a Latin letter f or Greek letter γ.
