a flaw in the wavelength/frequency formula?? FTW?

c equals lambda/frequency, and c is a constant.

SO. In order for c to remain constant, as lambda increases, frequency should also increase, and vice versa. But that doesn't happen in the electromagnetic spectrum. The EM spectrum shows that as wavelength increases, frequency decreases (as we go from UV to IR) and vice versa. Then how does c remain constant, and does the equation remain valid?

c equals lambda/frequency, and c is a constant.

That's incorrect. The correct relationship is: c = λf (not c = λ/f).

lol! I feel so stupid right now! hahahaha. I knew it would be something obvious, because I wasnt thinking straight when I posted this :P
