Electrons and Light Flashcards

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As wavelength gets smaller, frequency increases. (Indirect relationship)

Front

What is the relationship between energy and frequency?

Back

As energy increases, frequency increases. (Direct relationship)
