Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a phenomenon called the wavelength-frequency relationship. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
The speed at which a wave travels is called its velocity. This velocity is typically determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave.
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called what?
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called the wave speed or wave velocity. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is independent of the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
What is the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum carries the greatest amount of energy?
The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
What is a light having one wavelength called?
A light having one wavelength is called monochromatic light. This means that all the waves in the light are of the same frequency and color.
