Question

When decreasing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n)_______relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency, the_______ energy the electromagnetic radiation has

Answer 1

Answer:

Inverse proportion, greater

Explanation:

The relation between wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) is given by

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda }$

Where $c$ speed of light in vacuum.

We can see from this equation that wavelength and frequency are related inversely.

Now,

$E= h \nu$

Where 'E' is energy of electromagnetic radiation and 'h' is Planck's constant.

We can see from this equation that greater frequency (ν) will give greater electromagnetic radiation (E). As they are directly proportional.

Hence,

When decreasing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) Inverse proportion relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency, the greater energy the electromagnetic radiation has
