Source: http://www.bbemg.ulg.ac.be/UK/2Basis/freqlength.html In equations, the wavelength is represented by lambda (λ), with units of distance.
 * Wavelength** is the distance between peak to peak (or trough to trough) of a matter wave.

In equations, the frequency is represented by nu (v), with units of inverse time or hertz.
 * Frequency** is equal to the number of cycles the matter wave goes through in one second.

The **Speed of Light** is a constant, which is always equal to 2.998*10^8 m/sec or 2.998*10^17 nm/sec In equations, the speed of light is labeled as c, with units of distance over time.

The **equation** that links all of these properties together is **c = vλ**. Looking at this equation, we see that v is inversely proportional to λ. Also, we see that we can always find one value if we have the other. This is an important conversion in higher-level calculations.

Lastly, one can plainly see that the light wave is sinusoidal, and through the equation f(t)=a sin((2π/v)t), with domain [0,**∞)** where a is amplitude. This can be used to model any sinusoidal wave, however, and is not limited to just light. -AA
