The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is its frequency divided into the speed of light which, for general purposes, is usually reckoned to be 3.0 x 10^8 meters per second.

For example, at 100 megahertz, the wavelength equals 3 meters because:

300,000,000 / 100,000,000 = 3

What is the maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur?

The maximum wavelength at which electromagnetic radiation can occur is infinite.


How does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation change as its frequency decreases?

As the frequency of electromagnetic radiation decreases, its wavelength increases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in electromagnetic waves, as defined by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. A lower frequency corresponds to a longer wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
