What is the electromagnetic spectrum? a p e x
givi [52]

Answer:

- the electromagnetic spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by how much energy the radiation carries. there is an opposite relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. as the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency and energy decrease, and vice versa.

- the order from longest wavelength (lowest energy) to shortest wavelength (highest energy) is as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays and gamma rays.

how can you find the Frequency if you only have the wavelength? can you solve this example what is the Frequency of the waveleng
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

75000 Hz

Explanation:

f = V / λ (f= frequency, v=velocity of wave, lambda= wavelength)

alternatively, f = c / λ (f= frequency, c= speed of light- 3.00x10^8 m/s, lambda= wavelength)

f= [3.00x10^8 m/s]/[4000 m]

=75000 Hz
