If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, then its wavelength
in vacuum is almost 1,900 miles, and we would call it a radio wave in the ELF
(extremely low frequency) range.
By frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum
The frequency of the source that produced the wave.
an electromagnetic wave of extremely high frequency

There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have. The highest frequency waves are called gamma radiation.There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have.

The lower the frequency is, the less energy the electromagnetic wave carries. The wavelength is just (186,282 divided by the frequency) miles, or (300,000 divided by the frequency) kilometers.
The period of an electromagnetic wave is the reciprocal of the frequency. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.
frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave. This applies to all waves, not just to electromagnetic waves.
In the case of electromagnetic wave, the energy of a photon is directly proportional to the frequency. For other types of waves, the situation may be different.
frequency
The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.
