Frequency and wavelength are inversely related. This relationship is described by the equation:
\[ c = \lambda \cdot f \]
where:
- \( c \) is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) meters per second),
- \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the wave, and
- \( f \) is the frequency of the wave.
As the frequency \( f \) increases, the wavelength \( \lambda \) decreases, and vice versa, because the speed of light \( c \) is a constant. This means that as one value goes up, the other must go down to maintain the equality.

s is called Planck's constant. Since the energy goes up as the frequency increases, the energy is directly proportional to the frequency. ... That is, energy in inversely proportional to wavelength. In short, a photon can be described by either its energy, frequency, or wavelength.
