Question 3 • Physics

As the frequency of electromagnetic waves increases, what happens to the wavelength?

Answer
A
It decreases.
B
It remains constant.
C
It fluctuates.
D
It increases.

Explanation

For electromagnetic waves traveling at the same speed, frequency and wavelength are related by speed = frequency × wavelength. Since the speed stays constant, increasing the frequency means the wavelength must decrease. So the correct choice is “It decreases.”
