That's correct.

When you multiply the frequency times the wavelength , the result is

always the same number. So when either one decreases, the other one

has to increase.

Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?

No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.


Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.


What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?

One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.


The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?

The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.


Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?

No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.

The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?

wavelength. This is because frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship, meaning as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where speed is the speed of light in a vacuum.


The lower the frequency of a sound wave the?

For electromagnetic waves:Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)ORwavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.


Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?

No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.


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.


An electromagnetic wave with a longer wavelength has a lower?

frequency


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.


What is the relationship between the energy and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. The higher the frequency, the shorter (lower) the wavelength. Energy is proportional to frequency, and higher frequency waves will have a higher energy. Mathematically, frequency = 1 divided by wavelength, or f = 1/λ Use the link below for more information, including a diagram or two to make things clearer.


A helium neon laser emits light of wavelength 633 nm Light from an argon laser has a wavelength of 515 nm Which laser emits the higher frequency light?

according to the wave theory of light,we have the relation that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency,therefore the electromagnetic wave with the lower wavelength will have higher frequency..


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

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


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.


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


Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?

The frequency of purple light is higher than yellow light. Purple light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to yellow light which has a longer wavelength and lower frequency.
