When light is traveling away from a black hole, its wavelength becomes longer. This is called blue-shifting. If it's going in, the wavelength becomes shorter, which is called red-shifting.

What happens to electrons if photon frequency is below threshold?

If the photon frequency is below the threshold frequency, the electrons do not have enough energy to be emitted from the material's surface, and no photoelectric effect occurs. The electrons will not be ejected and will remain bound to the material.

As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?

As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.


How can you calculate the frequency of a photon emitted by hydrogen atom given the energy level transition that happens?

To calculate the frequency of the light emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition, simply use change in E = (-2.18*10^-18 J)[1/(nf)^2 - 1/(ni)^2]. Then convert the energy E to frequency using f = E/h where h is Planck's constant 6.626*10^-34 J*s.


What happens to the frequency as the electromagnetic wave gets longer?

the frequency reduces in value. The longer the wavelength the lower the frequency.


What happens to a radioactive atom after it has emitted its radiation?

The initial atom is transformed in another atom.


What is the emission of colored light rays during exposure to ulraviolet light?

Fluorescence. It happens when atoms' electrons absorb light at one frequency and emit at other (usually lower) frequencies. Sometimes two photons are absorbed by the same electron, and emitted as a single higher frequency, but this is not common.


What causes the oscillation at a certain frequency in an inkjet printer?

I assume you mean the frequency at which the head moves back and forth. If this happens only at a certain frequency, then it sounds as if that is caused by resonance - which happens when the excitation (in this case, the head moving back and forth) has a similar frequency to the object's (the printer's) natural frequency.

What happens to sound waves when the source of a sound is moving toward you?

When the source of a sound is moving toward you, the sound waves emitted by the source are compressed, resulting in a higher frequency of the sound you hear. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect and is commonly experienced with sirens from emergency vehicles approaching you.


What is frequencey in math?

Frequency is how often something happens.
