Two students are debating about the nature of light:a.Student 1: Looking at the chart, I see that light with a shorter wavelength has the highest frequency. But all light has the same speed.b.Student 2: I disagree with your Student 1. If light has a higher frequency, then it will have a faster speed than light with a lower energy.

Answer:

student 1 is right and student 2 is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph that the two students are observing is a graph of energy and frequency vs. wavelength, this graph is constructed using the relationship between a wave and its wavelength and frequency.

c = λ f

therefore for all waves we have the speed salami.

Therefore student 1 is right and student 2 is wrong
