Question

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic waves. a constant value everywhere in the universe. smaller for higher energy electromagnetic waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.
