The thing to remember is that the product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed

of the wave ... which is always the same constant number.

So when one of the two quantities increases, the other one must decrease, in order to keep

the product constant.

When you move to an E&M wave with a longer wavelength, you're looking at one with a

higher frequency.

How does increasing the wavelength affect the frequency?

The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency is changed by some percentage, the wavelength changes by the same percentage in the other direction, in order to keep their product the same as it was.


What color groups correctly shows increasing wavelength?

VIBGYOR= Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, although indigo isn't really used too much anymore. This is the order of increasing wavelength, while the order of increasing frequency (the inverse of wavelength) is the more commonly known order, ROYGBIV.


What are seven types of em waves?

The seven types of electromagnetic waves, in order of increasing frequency, are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of wave has a unique wavelength and frequency, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Which electromagnetic waves carry energy arranged by wavelength?

Electromagnetic waves that carry energy are arranged in order of increasing wavelength as follows: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. Each of these waves has different energy levels and properties based on their wavelength.


If a waves frequency doubles it's wavelength is?

Halved. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional, meaning that if the frequency doubles, the wavelength is halved in order to maintain a constant wave speed.


How are the modern table arranged differ than Mendeleev's table?

Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass.Moseley arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number.


Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.


What are the six primary colors in order of increasing wavelength?

The six primary colors in order of increasing wavelength are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.


What happens to frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decreased and when the wavelength is increased?

When wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and when wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the speed of the wave. So when one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction in order for their product to remain unchanged.


How does the frequency of a wave change as its wave length changes?

You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequencyIf for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light.Another way to view it is like this:The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.


What is the modern periodic table is now arranged according to?

Now modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number. The properties are found to be periodic when arranged in this pattern.


What is the order of electromagnetic wavelength from the weakest energy to strongest?

The order of electromagnetic wavelengths from weakest energy to strongest is radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This order is based on the increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength of each type of electromagnetic radiation.
