How are the frequency and the wavelength of a light wave related?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
(Wavelength) x (frequency) = (wave speed)
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
Note:
This is true for any traveling wave, not only electromagnetic ones.

∙ 14y agoThe frequency of the light is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
If
- ν = frquency
- λ = wavelength
- c = velocity of light
Then, c = ν.λ
So, ν ∞ 1/λ
The wavelength is the distance from crest to crest. Therefore, the higher the wavelength the less frequent waves are. If a wave has a long wavelenth it will have a short frequency

What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
How is a wave's speed related to its frequency and wavelength?
speed = frequency x wavelength
How is frequency wavelength and wave speed related?
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always equal to the wave's speed.
How are amplitude wavelength and frequency related?
The wavelength and frequency of any wave are inversely proportional. Neither of them is related to the wave's amplitude in any way.
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
How is frequency related to wavelength for a given wave?
(frequency) multiplied by (wavelength) = (speed of the wave)
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?
Wavelength.
Is speed wavelength and frequency of a wave related by a scientific theory?
No. They're related by the definitions of the wave's speed, wavelength, and frequency.
How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
How are wave'sspeed and wavelength and frequency related?
(Wavelength) x (Frequency) = (the Wave's Speed).
How is a wave's speed related to its frequency and wavelength?
speed = frequency x wavelength
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')
How are wave length and wave frequency are related?
velocity = frequency x wavelength
How is frequency wavelength and wave speed related?
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always equal to the wave's speed.
