Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths

Physics

dalvyx [7]3 years ago

Answer: because  ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which  are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ

Answer:

The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave comes from the equation:

v = λ*f

Where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

So if we keep the velocity constant, you can see that if we decrease the wavelength, then the frequency must increase (to contrast the decrease in the other variable)

And the same in the other direction, if the wavelength increases, then the frequency must decrease.

So for a fixed velocity, as highest is the frequency, lower will be the wavelength.

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.

In a solution, the substance that does the dissolving is called Blank Space __________.
Finger [1]

The answer is Solvent. The reason is in the wording, 'the substance that does the dissolving.' A solvent does the dissolving, a solute is something that can be dissolved.
