Question

1. As the wavelength decreases, the frequency

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency will increase

Explanation:

• Wavelength and frequency are inversely related such that waves with longer wavelength tend to have lower frequency and those with shorter wavelength have higher frequency.
• $Frequency\alpha \frac{1}{wavelength}$
• For example, gamma rays have a shorter wavelength but high frequency while radio waves have longer wavelength but have a low frequency.
• The product of wavelength and frequency gives the speed of the wave.
• Velocity = frequency × wavelength
• Wavelength is measured in meters while frequency is measured in Hertz.
