Question

consider these two waves representing different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. how do they compare in terms of speed of travel:
wave 1
wave 2
wave 1 has slower speed of travel than wave 2.
a true
b false
clear selection

Explanation:

All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed (the speed of light in a vacuum, \( c = 3\times10^{8}\, \text{m/s} \)) regardless of their frequency or wavelength. The difference between Wave 1 and Wave 2 is in their frequency/wavelength, not their speed. So the statement "Wave 1 has slower speed of travel than Wave 2" is false.

Answer:

B. False
