## BIG IDEAS
- Wavelength is the distance between successive crests, troughs, or identical points of a wave.
- Symbol $\lambda$
- SI unit meter (m)
Wavelength can be calculated using the wave speed ($v$) and frequency ($f$) with the formula $λ = \frac{v}{f}$. This relationship shows how wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency if the speed is constant.
