Question

Which of the following statements is true regarding electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum?

a. All waves have the same wavelength.
b. All waves have the same frequency.
c. All waves have the same speed.
d. The speed of the waves depends on their wavelength.
e. The speed of the waves depends on their frequency.

Answer 1

C. All waves have the same speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave equation is given as;

V = fλ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

The speed of the wave depends on both wavelength and frequency

The speed of the electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s, this also the speed of light which is constant for all electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, the correct option is "C"

C. All waves have the same speed.
