Solution

The correct option is B
λ=c/v

The number of wave crests passing a given point in one second depends upon the wavelength.The higher the frequency, the smaller will be the wavelength. It can be represented as λ=c/v where λ is the wavelength ,v is the frequency and c is the speed of light in vacuum.
