Answer:
- It can be infer that it has a lower frequency.
<em>In the case of electromagnetic waves.</em>
- A short wavelength means a lower energy,
Explanation:
The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or valleys while the frequency is the number of crests that pass for a specific point in an interval of time.
For example, a person makes laundry once a weak.
In this example, the event is represented by the laundry and the interval of time is once a weak
The velocity of a wave is defined as:
(1)
Where is the frequency and
is the wavelenth
(2)
Notice from equation 2 that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency (when the wavelength increases the frequency decreases).
In the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength means a lower energy, as it can be seen in equation 4 (inversely proportional).
