Question

Determine whether each description relates to wavelength or frequency.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength

a. Increases as energy decreases

b. Often measured in units such as nanometers (nm)

f. A measure of distance

Frequency

c. Often measured in units such as Hertz (Hz)

d. Increases as energy increases

e. A measure of cycles per unit time

Explanation:

Wavelength increases when the energy decreases whereas frequency increases as energy increases. Wavelength is measured in nanometers (nm) whereas frequency is measured in hertz. Frequency refers to the number of cycles in a unit of time while on the other hand, the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave is known as wavelength.
