How Does the Wavelength (In a Vacuum) of a High-Frequency

question 115

Multiple Choice

How does the wavelength (in a vacuum) of a high-frequency electromagnetic wave compare with a low-frequency electromagnetic wave?

• A) it is impossible to tell because frequency and wavelength are not related
• B) the lower-frequency wave has the longer wavelength because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other
• C) the two waves have the same wavelength because the wavelengths of all electromagnetic waves are the same
• D) the higher-frequency wave has the longer wavelength because frequency and wavelength are directly proportional to each other
