6. How are the frequency and wavelength of light related?

O Wavelength is determined by dividing frequency by the speed of light.
O They are inversely proportional to each other.
O They are directly proportional to each other.
O Frequency equals wavelength divided by the speed of light.

Answer:

Option B is correct = They are inversely proportional to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency and wavelength of lights are inversely proportional to each other.

The wave of light having highest frequency have shortest wavelength and the light with the shortest frequency having highest wavelength.

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

c = λ × f

λ = c/f

This formula shows that both are inversely related to each other.

The speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency is taken in Hz.

It is the number of oscillations, wave of light make in one second.

Wavelength is designated as "λ" and it is the measured in meter. It is the distance between the two crust of two trough.

Option A is incorrect:

Because wavelength is determine by dividing speed of light by frequency.

Option C is incorrect:

Because wavelength and frequency are not directly proportional to each other.

Option D is incorrect:

Because frequency is equal to the speed of light divided by wavelength.
