What happens to an electromagnetic wave's frequency as it's wavelength decreases?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) of any wave phenomenon is always
the same number ... the speed of the wave. So if wavelength changes, then
frequency must change by exactly the same factor in the opposite direction,
in order for their product to remain constant.

∙ 7y agoSince the speed of the wave (in a vacuum) is always the same, and the product of frequency x wavelength is equal to the speed, it follows that if you have less wavelength, you will have more frequency.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoFrequency of em radiation is inversely proportional to its wavelength.so, frequency increases with decrease in wavelength.

∙ 14y agoAs the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave decreases, its frequence increases. This is true not only for electromagnetic waves, but for mechanical wave and matter wave as well.

What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?
Shorter wavelength indicates higher frequency and higher energy per photon.
As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
What happens when wavelength increases?
When wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?
As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.
What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?
Shorter wavelength indicates higher frequency and higher energy per photon.
When frequency increases what happens to wavelength?
The wavelength gets shorter. If the propagation speed remains the same, the wavelength (L) decreases by the inverse of the frequency f. For electromagnetic waves c = fL is a constant.
As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
What happens when wavelength increases?
When wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
Radiation wavelength becomes longer what happens?
In Electromagnetic radiation when the wavelength increases the energy transmitted by the wave decreases. E=hf where h is a constant and f is the frequency.
As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?
As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
the wave decreases.
What is theas the wavelength of a wave decreases what happens to ts frequency?
Frequency Increases
What happens to the frequency when the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave goes up?
As wavelength goes up, the frequency comes down.
What happens to a wave's wavelength when its frequency increases?
The wavelength decreases since they are inversely proportional.
