Question
how are the frequency and wavelength of light related?
they are inversely proportional to each other.
they are directly proportional to each other.
frequency equals wavelength divided by the speed of light.
wavelength is determined by dividing frequency by the speed of light.
The relationship between frequency (\(f\)) and wavelength (\(\lambda\)) of light is given by the formula \(c = f\lambda\), where \(c\) is the speed of light (a constant). Rearranging gives \(f=\frac{c}{\lambda}\) or \(\lambda=\frac{c}{f}\). This shows that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice - versa. So, they are inversely proportional.
