Question

What is the correct formula for finding the frequency of an electromagnetic wave

A. F=c-A
B. F=A/c
C. F=A+c
D. F=c/A

Answer 1

Answer:
f = c / λ

Step-by-step explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are types of periodic waves. They propagate with the same speed as light (3 * 10⁸ m/sec).
Therefore:
velocity of wave = c

Now, the equation that relates speed of wave and its frequency is as follows:
c = λf
where:
c is the speed of wave
f is the frequency of the wave
λ is the wavelength of the wave

Solve the above equation for frequency, we will end up with:
f = c / λ
