Question

What best describes the relationship between wavelength and frequency in an electromagnetic wave? always equal no relationship directly proportional inversely proportional

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of wave.

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse. Mathematically, it can be written as :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{\nu}$.......(1)

Where

v is the speed of the wave

$\nu$ is the frequency of wave. It is defined as the number of oscillations per second.

$\lambda$ is the wavelength i.e. it is the distance between two crests or troughs.

So, from equation (1) it is clear that the relationship between frequency and wavelength is inverse.
