Which electromagnetic waves have the highest frequencies?

Back

Gamma rays have the highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What happens to frequency as wavelength decreases?

Back

As the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.

Front

Which electromagnetic waves have the lowest energy?

Back

Microwaves have the lowest energy among the given options.

Front

How does energy relate to frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the energy of that wave also increases.
