The distance between two same or repeating units of a waves is called wavelength. When a wave propagates, its units repeat after a fixed interval of time, the length between these two consecutive units is called wavelength of the wave. The time during which a wave completes its one cycle is called time period. The wavelength of a wave is usually represented by a Greek letter lambda that is λ. The speed of a wave is equal to the product of frequency and wavelength of the wave.

Speed= wavelength x frequency

V= λ f

Frequency of a waves is equal to the reciprocal of the time period.

λ= V/ f

Moreover, the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.
