Answer to Question #206442 in Physics for kenken

Question

All the waves shown have the same speed and amplitude in the same medium. Which wave has the

most

(a) wavelength,

(b) frequency, and

(c) period

Answer 1

If we consider the spectrum of electromagnetic waves in the visible range, the red light will have the largest wavelength, and violet light the smallest at the same speed in the environment.

$\lambda=\frac{v}{\nu}$

Similarly with the period.

$T=\frac{1}{\nu}$
