If all waves travel at the same speed, why do I see the lightning before I hear the thunder, Joe?  Enlighten us, O Guru!

I didn't say that all waves travel at the same speed.

But you said there's a one-to-one correspondence between frequency and wavelength*.  This can only be true if velocity is invariant.



* As I'm in a charitable mood, i'm going to disregard "frequency=wavelength" and just put it on the Big List Of Unbelievably Stupid Things Which Joe Is Too Pig-Headed To Retract.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between frequency and wavelength in any given context.

Ah, but that's not what you said is it Joe?

You said

wavelength = frequency

You didn't say

wavelength = frequency when everything else is constant (it's still not true because 520 nanometers doesn't equal 3.5 gigahertz anyway).

I'm pretty sure we have screenshots.

Here's a hint: The equal sign "=" does not mean 1:1 correspondence.  As you have been told many times and ignored.

Keep digging this is almost as good as the hail/water and a baseball can't be the same size as a rock because of density thing.
