Frequency and Wavelength of Photon
Equation 
The photon is described as a wave, and the photon frequency ($\nu$) is related to ($$) through the speed of Light ($c$), according to the following formula:
 $ c = \nu \lambda $ |
Given that the photon frequency ($\nu$) is the inverse of the period ($T$):
$\nu=\displaystyle\frac{1}{T}$
this means that the speed of Light ($c$) is equal to the distance traveled in one oscillation, which is ($$), divided by the elapsed time, which corresponds to the period:
$c=\displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{T}$
In other words, the following relationship holds:
| $ c = \nu \lambda $ |
This formula corresponds to the mechanical relationship that states the wave speed is equal to the wavelength (distance traveled) divided by the oscillation period, or inversely proportional to the frequency (the inverse of the period).
