Chapter 5, Problem 1QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between frequency of electromagnetic radiation and its wavelength has to be explained.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Frequency: It is the number of complete waves passing through a point in a given period of time.  The unit is s-1.  The symbol of frequency is ν

Wavelength:  The distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a wave is called wavelength.  The symbol of wavelength is λ.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by,

    C=νλν=Cλ

From the above relation, it is clear that frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.  Thus, increase in frequency decreases wavelength and vice-versa.
