In the visible spectrum, the color of light depends on the frequency. Which statement BEST describes the wavelengths of a certain frequency?

Respuesta :

A) A low frequency wave has a long wavelength.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are periodic oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light:

[tex]c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex]

The wavelength and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave are related by the wave equation:

[tex]c=f\lambda[/tex]

where

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength

From the equation above, we observe that the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional. Therefore, the only correct option could be

A) A low frequency wave has a long wavelength.
