For electromagnetic radiation,

c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelength

As the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.

What happens to the frequency when the wheel speed increases?

When the wheel speed increases, the frequency also increases. This is because frequency is directly proportional to the speed of rotation of the wheel.

What happens to the wave when you decreases the wavelength?

Its frequency increases. Its energy increases (all other parameters being equal).


What is the energy of electromagnetic waves?

The energy of electromagnetic waves is carried by photons, which are particles of light. The energy of electromagnetic waves increases as the frequency of the waves increases.

What increases As the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.

What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a light wave increases?

When the frequency of a light wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, meaning as one increases, the other decreases.


As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?

As the wavelength decreases, the frequency of the waves increases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional - as one decreases, the other increases, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.


What happens to frequency when energy increases?

When the energy of a wave increases, the frequency of the wave also increases. This is because frequency is directly proportional to energy in a wave. High frequency waves have more energy than low frequency waves.
