Question

Blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light. Which color has the higher frequency. O Blue O Yellow O They have the same frequency

Answer 1

Blue light has the higher frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the relation between wavelength and frequency for any electromagnetic wave in the vacuum is

`f = (c)/(\lambda)`

where
`c` is the speed of light in the vacuum. As you can see, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inversely proportional. The higher is the wavelength, the lower is the frequency.
