What do we mean by saying "electrical length" of an antenna?

The other posts happened not to mention the most basic newbie fact:
wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. For electromagnetic
radiation,

l(wavelength in meters) = c(speed of light, about 3 * 10^8 meters/sec)
/ f (frequency)

For air or other non-vacuum mediums, you have to tweak a bit. It's
explained here:
