Question

question 12 (1 point) which statement correctly describes the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves? shorter wavelength means lower frequency and less energy. shorter wavelength means higher frequency and more energy. shorter wavelength means higher frequency and more energy. longer wavelength means higher frequency and more energy. wavelength and frequency do not affect energy.

Explanation:

The speed of light $c$ is related to wavelength $\lambda$ and frequency $f$ by $c = \lambda f$. Since $c$ is constant, a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency. The energy of an electromagnetic - wave photon is given by $E=hf$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant), so higher frequency means more energy.

Answer:

Shorter wavelength means higher frequency and more energy.
