Answer: The frequency is inversely related to wavelength in electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Relationship between the frequency and wavelength of wave is given by the equation:


\\u=(c)/(\lambda)

where,


\\u = Frequency of the wave

c = speed of light =
3* 10^8m/s


\lambda = Wavelength of the wave

From the above relation, it is visible that frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of the wave.

Higher the frequency, low will be the wavelength of the wave and vice-versa.
