Question
If the frequency of a light wave in a vacuum is increased, its wavelength (A) decreases(B) increases(C) remains the same
Step 1
Step 1: The speed of light in a vacuum is given by the equation $c = \nu \lambda$, where $c$ is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency, and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. Show more…
