All waves follow the simple equation: speed = frequency × wavelength. At a constant speed, if you increase the wavelength, the wave itself will have smaller frequency, and vice versa, so that when you multiply the two quantities you recover the same speed of the wave every time. Works for light, sound, and even fans doing the “Wave” at sports arenas—anything that’s a traveling wave.
