### Understanding Light Wavelengths and Frequencies#### Question 6: **Long Wavelengths of light have what kind of frequency?**- Higher frequencies- Lower frequencies- All have the same frequencies- Wavelengths have nothing to do with frequency#### Explanation:Wavelength and frequency are fundamental characteristics of light waves. In the context of the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength and frequency of light are inversely related. This means that as the wavelength of light increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.In practical terms:- **Higher frequencies**: These are associated with shorter wavelengths.- **Lower frequencies**: These correspond to longer wavelengths.- **All have the same frequencies**: This is incorrect as wavelengths and frequencies vary across the electromagnetic spectrum.- **Wavelengths have nothing to do with frequency**: This is also incorrect, as there is a direct inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.Thus, the correct answer to the question is:- **Lower frequencies**#### Graphical Explanation:There wasn't a graph provided in the image, but typically, a graph explaining this concept would show the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency, often illustrating the electromagnetic spectrum where longer wavelengths (such as radio waves) have lower frequencies and shorter wavelengths (such as gamma rays) have higher frequencies.This fundamental relationship is mathematically expressed using the formula:\[ \text{c} = \lambda \times \nu \]where:- \( c \) is the speed of light in a vacuum,- \( \lambda \) is the wavelength,- \( \nu \) is the frequency.By understanding this relationship, one can better grasp how different types of electromagnetic waves interact with matter and their applications in various fields such as communication, medicine, and astronomy.

The frequency of the wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that…
