Question

An electromagnetic wave that has a lower frequency than infrared radiation will have ____ than the infrared radiation. longer wavelength and higher energy longer wavelength and lower energy shorter wavelength and higher energy shorter wavelength and lower energy

Answer 1

Answer: longer wavelength and lower energy.

Explanation:

1) The wavelength is inversely related to the frequency. So, an electromagnetic wave with lower frequency will have longer wavelength.

This is the formula for electromagnetic waves:

λ = c / ν

where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and ν is the frequency.

2) Energy is directly related to the frequency.

This is the formula E = hν,

where E is the energy, h is Planck constant, and ν is the frequency.

So, the lower the frequency the lower the energy.

3) Conclusion:
An electromagnetic wave that has a lower frequency than infrared radiation will have longer wavelength and lower energy than the infrared radiation
