Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength. Twice the frequency means one-half the wavelength. For this reason, the wavelength ratio is the inverse of the frequency ratio.
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of electromagnetic waves?
Therefore, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. All forms of EM radiation are grouped according to their wavelengths into an electromagnetic spectrum, seen in Figure 1-3. Photon energy is directly proportional to photon frequency.
What does frequency do to a wavelength?
Infer how wave frequency is related to wavelength. A: Waves with a higher frequency have crests that are closer together, so higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths.
