Answer:
As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.
Explanation:
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.
That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:
V= fλ
where v= velocity
f= frequency
λ = wavelength
⇒ f = v/λ
also f ∝ 1/λ
For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:
C= fλ
where c= Speed of light
f= frequency
λ = wavelength
⇒ f = v/λ
also f ∝ 1/λ
