`lambda = c/f`
`(c) "Speed of Light"`
`(f) "Frequency"`

The Wavelength of Light equation is used to calculate the wavelength of light in a particular medium using the frequency and speed of light where:

  • `f` = frequency
  • `c` = speed of light

Wavelength(`lambda`): The equations returns the wavelength(`lambda`) in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to other wavelength units via the pull-down menu.
