The speed of electromagnetic radiation (light) in a vacuum is a constant, independent of frequency or wavelength.
However in a medium (e.g. glass, water, air, diamond) it is no longer a constant, allowing the colors to be separated into a spectrum.
Divide the speed of light (300 x 106 meter/second) by the frequency. The answer will be in meters.
The wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves are inversely related. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: speed of light = frequency x wavelength.
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
What we currently observe as gamma radiation from nuclear events in stars is something like 10 to 100 exahertz. That's about the upper frequency limit of the electromagnetic radiation we know of, and it will have the shortest wavelength (something at or under 30 nano millimeters). It isn't a stretch to imagine frequencies higher than that, but what is it that can generate electromagnetic oscillations in that range?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
I would say the most obvious is the length of the constituent waves.
The question is effectively meaningless as stated. You can't convert a frequency to a length without also knowing the speed of propagation. If, for example, you're talking about electromagnetic radiation, the frequency of a 1m wave is 300KHz.
The speed of electromagnetic radiation stays constant at a speed of 299,792,458 metres per second.
velocity = frequency x wavelength
There frequency is inversely proportional to there wave length. There energy level go on reducing as there frequency decreases.
Yes, it is. Electromagnetic (EM) waves have frequency and amplitude (as well as polarity and a couple of other things), and because it has frequency, it can be distributed across a range of frequencies, or a spectrum - an electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a range of frequencies in what we call the optical or visible range. It is bounded on the lower end (lower frequency, lower energy, longer wavelength) by infrared (IR) light, and on the upper end (higher frequency, higher energy, shorter wavelength) by ultraviolet (UV) light.Yes. Light is also called a "electromagnetic wave"
Frequency is how close waves follow one another, usually given for one second of time. This can alos be measure in the length between successive waves. For example, a frequency of 14.5 megaHertz has a wavelength of about 20 meters. For electromagnetic waves, the relationship is simple: Energy of the photon equals the frequency of the EM wave times Planck's Constant.
