Want this question answered?
For any wave (not just light), the product of the wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave. For light in a vaccum, the speed is constant (ca. 300 million m/s). - thus, as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.
wavelength = speed of light/frequency so we rearrange frequency = speed of light/wavelength Hopefully you can figure it out from here...
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.
Wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship. c = lambda x f, so f = c/lambda, where lambda is wavelength, f is frequency, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore, when the frequency increases, the wavelength shortens.
Wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship. c = lambda x f, so f = c/lambda, where lambda is wavelength, f is frequency, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore, when the frequency increases, the wavelength shortens.
Using the relationship C = n lambda C - velocity of light, n-frequency of radiation and lambda- the wavelength. So as frequency increases definitely its wavelength decreases.
The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.

Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength
We got the formula: speed of medium c = frequency f times wavelength lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f If c increases, also f increases. c is proportional to f, if lambda stays constant. If c increases, also lambda increases. c is proportional to lambda, if fstays constant.
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.
