Question

How do the frequency and wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation change as you move from radio waves to gamma rays in the EM Spectrum?

Answer 1

Frequency of radio waves are of the lowest frequency. As we go up the EM spectrum, frequency increases as wavelength decreases. Gamma rats have the highest frequency therefore a correspondingly shorter wavelength. This is because all EM waves travel at the speed of light, a constant. Since v=f x wavelength is constant as frequency increases up the EM spectrum, wavelength has to decrease.
