Question 9 • Physics

Which is the correct formula for finding the frequency of an electromagnetic wave?

Answer
A
f is equal to lambda plus c
B
f is equal to c over lambda
C
f is equal to c minus lambda
D
f is equal to lambda over c

Explanation

The speed of an electromagnetic wave equals its frequency multiplied by its wavelength: c = fλ. Rearranging to solve for frequency gives f = c/λ, so the correct choice is “f is equal to c over lambda.”
