Here, \mathrm{k x=\theta\, \, or\, \, k=\theta / x }
And \mathrm{\omega t=\theta_0 or \omega=\theta_0 / t \therefore k / \omega=t / x=1 /(x / t)=\frac{1}{v} }, where v is the velocity of electromagnetic wave, which is independent of wavelength of wave but depends upon the nature of medium of propagation of wave.
