what is the relationship between frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves

[Buenchico]

wf =C
where w = wavelength, f = frequency and C = speed of light. (I've used 'w' for wavelength because I can't type the symbol for the Greek letter 'lambda', which is usually used to represent wavelength).

λ lower case lambda is & # 955
Λ capital lambda is & # 923

no spaces ofcourse

(I'm gonna look pretty silly if this doesn't work ☺)

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a wave pattern in the direction of propagation during one complete cycle as observed from a given point or the distance measured between consecutive corresponding points of a repeating wave pattern.

Frequency is the rate at which a wave pattern repeats as it passes by a designated point (the number of wavelengths that pass by) in a specified period of time, typically measured in cycles per second, f=c/s

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional and when multiplied together equal the wave velocity, which in the case of an electromagnetic wave is the velocity of light in a vacuum or within the associated medium.
