It is hard to say but the idea was intuitively understood. It is a question of determining has fast things move and why they move.
Mathematically the ancient greeks like Aristotle had contributed much to understand how things move.
When we move we travel a distance and how much travel time is used is called the period of travel. Since our motion is oscilliatory as we walk the distance move per step is called the wavelenght of the oscillation,and the time used per step is the period. The velocity of our motion would equal the wavelenght of the step multiplied by the frequency of the steps we take.
Therfore all motion follows the same rule including the motion of the corpuscule of light, the motion of electrical massses like the electron etc....
