Answer:

The frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation are inversely related.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. Theoretically, they are governed by
\lambda * f = v, where lambda represents the wavelength, f represents the frequency, and v represents the speed of a wave. In this case, we can empirically notice from model 3 that as the wavelength increases(i.e., we move to the right of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum), the frequency decreases and vice versa. For example, long radio waves have a very high wavelength and a low frequency, whereas gamma rays(on left) have very high frequencies and low wavelengths. Thus, we can conclude that they are inversely related.
