Explain why as the frequency of the regions of the elctromagnetic spectrum increases, the wavelength decreases

Answer 1

Electromagnetic waves move at a fixed speed, the speed of light: 299,792,458 metres per second.

For example, lets say the speed of light is 1 m/s and a length of string represents a how far the wave has travelled in a second... 1 meters.... it doesn't matter what the frequency is that's as fast as it can go.

The higher the frequency (more cycles), the shorter the wavelength in the 1 meter length of string.
so
1 hz = 1 wavelength per meter (wavelength = 1 m)
2 hz = 2 wavelengths per meter (wavelength = 0.5 m)

Answer 2

Wavelength times frequency equal W. Wavelength and frequency are indirectly proportional. Therefore if one goes up the other most go down to keep W constant. For example, W = 18. Say the wavelength was 3 and the frequency was 6. If you decrease the wavelength to 2, you must increase the frequency to 9 so you still get 18.

Answer 3

A simple explanation is

Wavelength = Speed of the Wave divided by frequency

or if Wavelength = w
Speed = C
frequency = f

then w = C/f

put some numbers in and you will see that if f increases
w reduces.

(C is the speed of light and is generally assumed to be constant)

Answer 4

nicely, the first bit is. If the wavelength will strengthen the frequency decreases in spite of the indisputable fact that the skill of a photon is given with the help of E = hf the position h = Plank's consistent and f = frequency so as the frequency decreases the skill of the photon decreases.

Answer 5

Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength

re-arranged:

Frequency = velocity / wavelength

Therefore frequency is proportional to 1 / wavelength.

As the wavelength increases, frequency gets smaller and vice versa

Answer 6

The product of frequency and wavelength is a constant, the speed of propagation, or "c" for electromagnetic waves. If one increases, the other must decrease to maintain a constant product.
