Question

An electromagnetic wave travels in a vacuum. The wavelength of the wave is tripled. How is this accomplished?

Answer 1

Answer:

The wavelength of the wave is tripled this can be done by reducing the frequency of the wave by factor of three.

Explanation :

The relation between the wavelength & frequency of a wave is given by

C = ν λ

Where

C - it is the velocity of light in vacuum.

ν - frequency of the wave.

λ - wavelength of the wave.

So we find that wavelength of a wave varies inversely with the frequency of a wave i.e. ν ∝ 1/λ.
