Question

The shorter an elecrtomagnetic waves wavelength, the ___

Answer 1

Answer:

The higher is its frequency.

Explanation:

• Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
• They include radio waves, microwaves, infra-red and gamma rays among others.
• Frequency refers to the number of complete oscillations in one second while wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or trough in a transverse wave.
• The frequency of electromagnetic waves varies inversely to the wavelength.
• Electromagnetic waves with higher frequencies such as x-rays and gamma rays have lower wavelengths.
• Those with higher wavelengths, on the other hand, such as microwaves and radio waves have lower frequencies.
