To calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, you need to know the speed of the wave and its

• wavelength.

• intensity.

• refraction.

• amplitude.

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern

The distance between 2 crests or troughs

• wavelength

• amplitude

• frequency

• wave speed

Light travels at a speed of

• 186,000 m/s.

• 125 m/s

• 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

• It depends on the wavelength
