Question

Which statement best describes the relationship between period and frequency of light waves? A) In wave B the period increases and the frequency decreases from wave A. B) In wave A the period increases and the frequency decreases from wave B. C) In wave B the period is shorter and the frequency is greater than in wave A. D) In wave A the period is shorter and the frequency is greater than in wave B.

Answer 1

The period and frequency of light waves are inversely related; when one increases, the other decreases. The correct relationship is that a shorter period corresponds to a higher frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between period and frequency of light waves is that they are inversely related. When the period of a light wave increases, its frequency decreases, and vice versa. Considering this, the correct statement describing the relationship would be: In wave B the period is shorter, and the frequency is greater than in wave A. Hence, the correct answer is C) In wave B the period is shorter and the frequency is greater than in wave A.

Answer 2

A) In wave B the period increases and the frequency decreases from wave A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantities "frequency" and "period" are inversely related.

This means when one increase the other decrease.

The relationship between period and frequency of light waves is best described by: In wave B the period increases and the frequency decreases from wave A.
