State
For any wave of fixed speed, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional: as one increases, the other decreases.
Show
Among visible light, violet light's short wavelength corresponds to a high frequency, while red light's long wavelength corresponds to a low frequency.
Watch for
Inverse proportionality means the product of wavelength and frequency stays fixed — neither quantity varies on its own.
