If water is the same frequency of vegetable oil, which would have the longer wavelength?

I don't know exactly what you are talking about, but I know that wavelength= (speed of light)/frequency. So, if two substances have the same frequency, they should have the same wavelength.If water is the same frequency of vegetable oil, which would have the longer wavelength?
Since wavelength is the period of the waves, and they are the same, the frequency would be the same. The period is the distance from one wave to the next. Frequency is how many of these wave's occur in a second.
