What is the relationship between the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation and the energy of the wave?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this a multiple choice question or an essay question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not really essay its a DBA so my teacher will be calling and asking me this but for some reason i cant rap my head around the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic waves is: λν=c where λ is the wavelength, ν is the frequency and c is the speed of light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i guess its an essay it only has to be like 1-3 sentences i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got any of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wasn't that on google @jumpix1347 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk my mother passed by and told me that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i saw that but it didn't make any sense to me i just kind of need the question put down into basic English i guess you could say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

instead of how its written basically more easy than i think i could answer it on my own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how much i know too but i gtg

The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic waves is: λν=c where λ is the wavelength, ν is the frequency and c is the speed of light.
