Wavelength, Freqency in Relation to Speed

Frequencies of different sine waves.

Frequencies of different sine waves.

The red wave has a low frequency sine there is very little repetition of cycles. Conversely we say that the purple wave has a high frequency. Note that time increases along the horizontal.
