As the wavelength increases to infinity the electro-magnetic continuum take on a new base value and with no variation has no radiation to transmit.
As the wavelength decreases to zero the energy packet become a massive body and therefore is no longer a radiating.

What is the violet shift?
a decrease in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the doppler effect
Does Radiation Exposure Gradually decrease over a lifetime?
no
If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?
Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
The lower the frequency of a sound wave the?
For electromagnetic waves:Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)ORwavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.
Does Beta radiation decrease the atomic number of the atom?
yes it can
What is the violet shift?
a decrease in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the doppler effect
What increases As the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?
Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.
As the speed of a particle increases does its associated wavelength increase or decrease?
The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
What happens as the frequency of photons increases?
For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
What happens to the wave when you decrease the wavelength or increase the wavelength?
By decreasing wavelength, its energy and as well as frequency increases.
When wavelength increases frequency and energy do what?
Frequency and energy decrease as wavelength increases.
If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
How can you obtain a wave with a higher frequency?
decrease wavelength
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.
When wavelength decreases does the frequency increase or decrease?
The wavelength is inverse to the frequency, meaning the frequency in this case will increase.
