Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (5 meters) x (1,000 per second) = 5,000 meters per second.

This could not be an electromagnetic wave traveling in a vacuum.

The speed of E&M in vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters per second.

This unknown disturbance in the force is too slow by a factor of 60,000 !

If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?

the speed of light in a vacuum is constant (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s). By using the formula c = λ*f (where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency), you can calculate the frequency when you know the vacuum wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.


What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 2.45 109 Hz in a vacuum (The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.00 108 ms.)?

You need to divide the speed of light (in m/s) by the frequency (in Hz, which is equal to 1/s) to get the wavelength (in meters).


How are the energy and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. This relationship is described by Planck's equation E=hf, where E is the energy of the wave, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency. This means that as the frequency of the wave increases, so does its energy.


Do types of electromagnetic waves differ in their speeds?

No, all types of electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. The speed of light remains constant regardless of the frequency or wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.


How are the wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?

The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, while longer wavelengths have lower frequencies. This relationship is described by the equation: speed of light = frequency x wavelength.

If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum you can calculate its?

If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, you can calculate its frequency using the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where the speed is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 1.82x10 18 HZ in a vacuum?

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave can be determined using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Given the frequency of 1.82x10^18 Hz and the speed of light in a vacuum (3.00x10^8 m/s), we can calculate the wavelength to be approximately 165 nm (nanometers).


The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?

wavelength. This is because frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship, meaning as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where speed is the speed of light in a vacuum.


Why is wavelength all you need to know to calculate EM wave frequency in a vacuum?

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in a vacuum, following the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. Since the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, knowing the wavelength allows you to determine the frequency of an electromagnetic wave.


In vacuum the shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the?

In a vacuum, the speed of light is constant, so shorter wavelengths of electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength.

How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?

Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
