They are inversely related. The product of these two would give the velocity of electromagnetic wave in the medium. The frequency character would never change as the wave changes from one medium to the other. But as the speed changes then definitely its wavelength would change

Is it true that the wavelengths and frequency are directly related?

Yes, wavelengths and frequency are directly related in the electromagnetic spectrum. The higher the frequency of a wave, the shorter its wavelength, and vice versa. This relationship is defined by the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What do you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?

As the color of light changes from red to violet, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases. This relationship is known as the inverse proportionality between wavelength and frequency, as different colors have different wavelengths and frequencies that define their place on the electromagnetic spectrum.


How are frequency and wavelength related for the spesific region of the spectrum?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, frequency and wavelength are inversely related. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This means that in a specific region of the spectrum, if one parameter increases, the other must decrease to maintain the constant speed of light.


What 2 properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?

Two properties of electromagnetic waves that change across the spectrum are wavelength and frequency. As you move from one end of the spectrum to the other, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases.

What is the Part of electromagnetic spectrum that has lowest frequency and longest wavelength?

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the lowest frequency and longest wavelength is radio waves. They are used for communication, broadcasting, and radar.


When describing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency the energy the electromagnetic radiation has. A) direct less B) dire?

The relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic radiation is inverse - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Higher frequency radiation carries more energy, as energy is directly proportional to frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What part of the spectrum has the highest frequency?

The part with the shortest wavelength has.


What did you observe about the wavelength and frequencies of the different colors of light?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and vice versa. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to red light, which has a longer wavelength and lower frequency. This relationship is consistent across the entire visible spectrum of light.


What is a radio wave's relative wavelength and frequency compared to other waves in the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum?

Radio waves are the lowest frequency (and therefore longest wavelength) waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
