equals speed?
I only ask as I couldn't find a solid answer online.

Sure. No problem. All the same. Just calling it the 'speed of light' is more generic, though.bonjour said:Right so then there would also be no objection to calling C the speed of gamma, or speed of infrared?
Nope.bonjour said:http://www.chacha.com/question/how-does-the-speed-of-visible-light-compare-with-the-speed-of-gamma-rays-when-both-speeds-are-measured-in-a-vacum
Is this true?
The equation for wavelength times frequency is λ x ƒ = c, where λ represents the wavelength in meters, ƒ represents the frequency in Hertz, and c represents the speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 meters per second).
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related - as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This is known as the inverse relationship of wavelength and frequency.
This is because all electromagnetic waves, including light, travel at the same speed in a vacuum. Therefore, the product of their wavelength and frequency must equal the speed of light to maintain this constant speed.
The unit of measurement for wavelength times frequency is meters per second (m/s), which is the unit for speed or velocity.
Wavelength times frequency is an important concept in the study of electromagnetic waves and is used in various fields of science, such as optics, astronomy, and telecommunications. It is used to calculate the energy and properties of electromagnetic radiation and is also used in the design of technologies such as radios, lasers, and satellite communications.
