Waves Review

Which of the waves listed below has the lowest frequency?

• radio waves
• x-rays
• infrared waves
• ultraviolet waves

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

• Frequency equals wavelength
• As frequency increases, wavelength increases
• as frequency increases, wavelength decreases
• the relationship depends on the speed of the wave
