Solution

Wavelength:

  • It is the distance between similar points in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or ahead of a wire.
  • The formula of the wavelength as λ=vf

Frequency:

  • The number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time.
  • It also explains the number of cycles or vibrations face during one unit of time by a body in cyclic motion.

Hence, the SI unit of wavelength is a meter(m).

and the frequency is hertz(Hz).
