frequency = speed / wavelength imagine about what occurs once you drop a stone right into a pool of water. The ripples that radiate outwards are stated as waves. A wave in that water may have factors the position it is going up higher than the conventional factor of the water, and parts the position it is going down below the conventional factor of the water. those are its peaks and troughs. One wavelength, is the gap between height to height, or trough to trough (both one, similar distance). Frequency is defined as how a lot of those wavelengths go by a level in a unmarried 2d. speed is the speed at which the wavefront travels. Waves in water can go back and forth at distinct speeds. similar with waves contained in the air. besides the undeniable fact that, gentle waves continually go back and forth a similar % (the speed of sunshine). yet customarily, the equation that relates those 3 issues at the same time is frequency = speed / wavelength so if the dimensions of a wave is 5 meters (wait are you american?) err, say 5 ft. And 5 of those waves bypass by each 2d... Then the speed of the wave is 25 ft in preserving with 2d.

It's simple. For ANY wave, the speed of the wave = frequency times the wave -length. For example, for radio waves, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light. For sound waves, the wavelength times the frequency = speed of sound.

V = F x Lambda
Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.

It doesn't have a real relationship.
In a vacuum, a radio wave travels at the same speed as light.
To prove it, astronomers can see and "hear" a cosmic occurance at the exact same time.
The key things that affect the speed is the medium it is passing through. If there is a dielectric constant of the material, say of a cable, then the Attenuation is more at the higher frequencies such that they are greatly reduced.

The shorter the wave length, the higher the frequency and the faster the wave moves.

wavelength = speed of wave / frequency.

v=c/lambda
and E=hv=hc/lambda
