Detailed Solution

The angular frequency ω is given by ω = 2πν
The frequency of a wave varies with the wavelength. So, angular frequency is dependent on wavelength.

Now, k=2πλ, ω=2πν

kω=2π/λ2πv=1vλ=1c

where c is the speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum. It is a constant whose value is 3 × 108 m s-1.
