Front

What happens to frequency when wavelength decreases?

Back

When wavelength decreases, frequency increases.

Front

Which color waves have the lowest frequency?

Back

Red waves have the lowest frequency in the visible spectrum.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.
