Since velocity is distance covered per unit time, . Using the definition of frequency as the reciprocal of the period, , this becomes the single most important relation in wave motion: . This relation shows that for waves travelling through a FIXED medium (fixed v), frequency and wavelength are inversely related -- raising one lowers the other -- and that when a wave crosses into a new medium …
