Electromagnetic Waves

Question 2 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

Which best describes electromagnetic waves moving from gamma rays to radio waves along the electromagnetic spectrum?

Answer
A
Wavelength and frequency decrease.
B
Wavelength and frequency increase.
C
Wavelength increases, and frequency decreases.
D
Wavelength decreases, and frequency increases.

Explanation

Moving from gamma rays toward radio waves, the wavelength gets longer while the frequency gets lower. This follows the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength: electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, so when wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Choice C describes this change.
