True. The frequency of light is very fast as it is a wave oscillating at a high rate. This high frequency corresponds to a short wavelength, which is the distance between two consecutive peaks of the wave.
False. The wavelength and frequency of light are inversely related, meaning shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies.
Yes, that's correct. Light travels at a very high speed, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This fast movement contributes to its high frequency and short wavelength, allowing it to propagate quickly through space.
No, gamma rays have a high frequency and a short wavelength compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light. They are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation.

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
c = lambda times f f = c / lambda Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion: frequency f to wavelength lambda and wavelength to frequency".
No, the wavelength of light is actually very short, ranging from nanometers to hundreds of micrometers. Frequency, on the other hand, is high, ranging from hundreds of terahertz to hundreds of petahertz for visible light frequencies.
wavelength and frequency. ultravoilet light has a short wave length and therefore a high frequency, while infrared light has a longer wave length and lower frequency
Ultraviolet light occurs just above the range of electromagnetc radiation that is detectable by the human eye and has a shorter wavelength than violet. This means it has a higher frequency since all light waves are presumed to travell at the same speed, whether visible to us or not. To explain this in simple terms, if two trains are travelling at the same speed, and one has short cars and the other has long cars, the one with the short cars will pass by us more cars per minute than the one with the long cars. This is called frequency...the number of times something happens in a given time frame.
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
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.
Generally the term "short wavelength" is used to describe light but it can be used for any wave. It means the distance between one wave front and another is only short. Given that, you might get the idea that "short wavelength" is a relative term. In radio, the term short wavelength is almost obsolete. If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. After radio waves, electromagnetic waves go to infrared, visible light, xrays then gamma rays as the wavelength gets shorter.
