Question

Compared to ultraviolet light, an electromagnetic wave that has a higher frequency will also have ________.

longer wavelength and equal speed
longer wavelength and higher speed
shorter wavelength and equal speed
shorter wavelength and higher speed

Answer 1

Answer: C ) shorter wavelength and equal speed

Answer 2

• The answer is shorter wavelength and equal speed.

That is, compared to ultraviolet light, an electromagnetic wave that has a higher frequency will also have shorter wavelength and equal speed.

This can be seen by the reaction given below:

`h* \upsilon =(c)/(\lambda )`

h= Planck's constant

c=speed of the light

`\upsilon`=frquency

`{\lambda }`=wavelength

So, higher is the frequency, lesser is the volume while speed remains constant as c is speed of light.
