What happens to the frequency and wavelength if the energy of the wave
decreases?
What happens to the frequency and wavelength if the energy of the wave decreases?
- wavelength increases, frequency increases
- wavelength increases, frequency decreases (correct)
- wavelength decreases, frequency decreases
- wavelength decreases, frequency increases
How does an increase in frequency affect electromagnetic waves?
How does an increase in frequency affect electromagnetic waves?
- Energy carried by the wave increases.
- Wavelength decreases.
- both A and B (correct)
- neither A nor B
Radio waves, X-ray waves, and microwaves are detected to be travelling in a
vacuum. If the waves have a wavelength of 2 x 103 m, 2 x 10-9 m, 2 x 10-1 m
respectively, which of the three travels the fastest?
