In physics the equation (VELOCITY) = (LAMBDA) X (FREQUENCY) is used for both sound and light. Velocity is the speed of the wave (sound or light or whatever) Lambda is the wavelength (The distance it takes for a wave to make an entire cycle) and the frequency is how fast the wave vibrates. Light is sometimes treated as a wave like sound is, even though it is also sometimes treated as a particle called a photon. The wavelength for sound however is about half a meter, while light has a wavelength about a billion times smaller than that! That means that the sound waves reflect around corners a lot, while light doesn't very much. It still does though, and was discovered by a man named Thomas Yound in the early 1800s. You can see the wave nature of light at home: in a dark room, stick a hair in front of a laser (like $10 at the store) and turn it on. You should see a line of light and dark because light is a wave.
