  • The answer is shorter wavelength and equal speed.

That is, compared to ultraviolet light, an electromagnetic wave that has a higher frequency will also have shorter wavelength and equal speed.

This can be seen by the reaction given below:


h* \upsilon =(c)/(\lambda )

h= Planck's constant

c=speed of the light


\upsilon=frquency


{\lambda }=wavelength

So, higher is the frequency, lesser is the volume while speed remains constant as c is speed of light.
