Question

wave properties review directions: sort the statement as a true or false declaration about wave properties. wavelength is indirectly related to the energy of an em wave (as wavelength increases, energy decreases) true statement false statement

Explanation:

For electromagnetic (EM) waves, the energy \( E \) of a photon is given by \( E = hf \), where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( f \) is frequency. The speed of light \( c = \lambda f \) (where \( \lambda \) is wavelength), so \( f=\frac{c}{\lambda} \). Substituting into the energy formula gives \( E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \), showing energy and wavelength are inversely (indirectly) related: as \( \lambda \) increases, \( E \) decreases. Thus the statement is true.

Answer:

True Statement
