E = h f (relation of energy with frequency)
E = h c / λ (relation of energy with wavelength)
h = Planck's constant ≈ 6.026 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 299,792,458 m/s in vacuum ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

∙ 9y ago- frequency = number of times per second the electromagnetic wave repeats
- wavelength = length of one electromagnetic wave = c / frequency
- intensity = amplitude of the electromagnetic wave (number of photons)
- energy per photon, directly proportional to frequency = planck's constant * frequency
- total energy = energy per photon * intensity

∙ 9y agoYou will need to have the right formula. The best one to use would be wavelength=frequency/speed of light. to find energy you would need energy=frequency*h. And intensity=power/area.

How are the frequency and the wavelength of a light wave related?
(Wavelength) x (frequency) = (wave speed) Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) Note: This is true for any traveling wave, not only electromagnetic ones.
What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
How is a wave's speed related to its frequency and wavelength?
speed = frequency x wavelength
is light the only electromagnetic wave?
No. Visible light is actually a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which ranges from very short wavelength high frequency electromagnetic waves such as gamma radiation up to very long wavelength, low frequency electromagnetic waves such as radio waves. For more information on the electromagnetic spectrum and the small part of it made up of visible light, see the related link.
The color of light is determined by its?
Wavelength, or alternatively its frequency.
How are wavelength frequency intensity and energy related in electromagnetic wave?
You will need to have the right formula. The best one to use would be wavelength=frequency/speed of light. to find energy you would need energy=frequency*h. And intensity=power/area.
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')
Is electromagnetic spectrum and frequency spectrum same?
Electromagnetic waves have an associated frequency and wavelength. They are related by c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and ν is the frequency. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. A change in frequency results in a change in wavelength (as required by the given equation). In short, yes. They're the same.
How are the wavelength and energy of electromagnetic radiation related?
The energy of one photon is given by its frequency X planck's constant Its frequency is given by the speed of light divided by the wavelength.
How are the energy and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related?
For any point on the electromagnetic spectrum, the product of(wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the speed of the wave.
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
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 the frequency and the wavelength of a light wave related?
(Wavelength) x (frequency) = (wave speed) Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) Note: This is true for any traveling wave, not only electromagnetic ones.
How are wave'sspeed and wavelength and frequency related?
(Wavelength) x (Frequency) = (the Wave's Speed).
