Question
multiple choice 1 point
what is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
as frequency increases, wavelength increases
frequency and wavelength are unrelated
frequency and wavelength both decrease
as frequency increases, wavelength decreases
The speed of light ($c$) in a vacuum is constant, and the relationship between frequency ($f$) and wavelength ($\lambda$) is given by $c = f\lambda$. Since $c$ is fixed, when $f$ increases, $\lambda$ must decrease to maintain the equality.
