If you will draw a sin wave, the wavelength is the distance from crest to crest. The frequency is the number of crests in a second (of time). The frequency and wavelength numbers are inverse to one another. If the frequency is very high then the wavelength is very low; i.e., a frequency of about 30 MHz is about 10 meters. In the x-ray region, an x-ray of about 1E-8 cm wavelentgh is a very high frequency. The lesson here is that high f is short w .You can always calculate one if you know the other from c = f*w or speed of light = frequency*wavelength.
