Which of the following best describes the
relationship between frequency and wavelength.
of electromagnetic waves?
A. If the frequency remains constant, the wavelengh
increases
B. The wavelength decreases as the frequency decreases
c. The frequency increases as the wavelengh decreases
D. If the wavelengh remains constant, the frequency
Increases.

Respuesta :

Answer: (C)

The frequency increases as the wavelength decreases

Explanation:

The relation between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is

Frequency = 1 / Wavelength

The Frequency of electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength. So, as the frequency increases, the wavelength of the wave decreases and vise-versa.

The frequency of a wave is number of complete cycles passing a particular point per second. Its S.I unit is Hertz whereas the wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crest and trough in meters.

So, on increasing the frequency of a wave, there will be more number of the cycles of wave per second which will decrease the distance between the consecutive crest and trough i.e wavelength.

Answer:

As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases.
