The wavelength decreases.

The speed of light is the speed of all electromagnetic radiation (such as radio waves, light waves, gamma rays, etc.) in vacuum.

The speed of light (c) is a physical constant with the exact value of 299,792,458 m/s.

speed of light = frequency x wavelength

so when frequency increases, wavelength decreases .

How does the electromagnetic spectrum organize the different types of energy waves?

The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.


What is a radio wave's relative wavelength and frequency compared to other waves in the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum?

Radio waves are the lowest frequency (and therefore longest wavelength) waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.


Where in the electromagnetic spectrum would you find waves of wavelength 0.01metres?

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = (3 x 108) / 10-2 = 3 x 1010 = 30 GHz.That portion of the radio spectrum is allocated for various satellite applications,radio astronomy, radio navigation, earth and space exploration.


The range of EMF on the electromagnetic spectrum extends in frequency from 0 kHz to?

300 GHz


What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?

Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.

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.


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.


How are frequency and wavelength related for the spesific region of the spectrum?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, frequency and wavelength are inversely related. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This means that in a specific region of the spectrum, if one parameter increases, the other must decrease to maintain the constant speed of light.


What 2 properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?

Two properties of electromagnetic waves that change across the spectrum are wavelength and frequency. As you move from one end of the spectrum to the other, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases.


As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?

colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength


What is the relationship between the frequencies of an electromagnetic wave and its wavelength decreases?

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in the electromagnetic spectrum. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths.


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What is the Part of electromagnetic spectrum that has lowest frequency and longest wavelength?

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the lowest frequency and longest wavelength is radio waves. They are used for communication, broadcasting, and radar.


How does radiation change across the electromagnetic spectrum?

Radiation changes across the electromagnetic spectrum based on the wavelength and frequency of the electromagnetic waves. As you move from radio waves to gamma rays, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases. This results in higher energy levels and greater potential for ionization as you move towards the gamma ray end of the spectrum.

What is unit of electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum is typically measured in units of frequency (Hz) or wavelength (meters). The frequency ranges from radio waves with the lowest frequencies, to gamma rays with the highest frequencies.
