The relationship is #v=λ*f#.

Explanation:

The period, T, which has dimension of time (typically seconds), is the reciprocal of frequency, f, which has dimension of #"time^-1#. So T=1/f. Therefore,

#v=λ*f#.

A note about Hz. The units "cycles/second or cps" was previously used. It might help understanding to think of it that way.

I hope this helps,
Steve
