In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the waveâthe distance over which the wave's shape repeats,[1] and thus the inverse of the spatial frequency.
(This is because the product of frequency and wavelength is always the speed of the wave. For light, that speed is constant.) Mathematically: frequency = speed of light/wavelength. An electromagnetic wave is a synonym for light, because it consists of waves of electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength is the distance from one peak of an electromagnetic wave to the next.
