Question
radio waves have long wavelengths. what does that tell us about their frequency? they have low frequency. frequency is unrelated to wavelength. they have high frequency.
The relationship between wavelength ($\lambda$) and frequency ($f$) of a wave is given by the formula $c = \lambda f$, where $c$ is the speed of light (a constant in a vacuum, $c\approx3\times10^{8}\text{ m/s}$). Rearranging for $f$, we get $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$. Since $c$ is constant, when $\lambda$ (wavelength) is large (as in radio - waves), $f$ (frequency) will be small.
