The formula vw=f ⋅ λ describes the relationship between the speed of a wave (v^w), and its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).
For example, if a wave has a frequency of 120 Hz and a wavelength of 5m, it would have a speed of 600 m/s.
In one or two sentences, describe what would happen to the frequency of this wave if the wavelength is increased to 10m but the speed stays the same at 600 m/s.

Yes, I am sure. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium to propagate.

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency. Therefore, FM waves, with a wavelength of approximately 1 meter, have a higher frequency than AM waves, with a wavelength of approximately 100 meters.

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, so in this case, FM waves have higher energy compared to AM waves.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. FM has a higher frequency and higher energy.

D. Light would be mostly reflected rather than absorbed or transmitted.

A white shirt reflects most of the sunlight falling on it, while a black shirt absorbs most of the sunlight. The absorbed light energy is converted into heat, causing the black shirt to become hotter than the white shirt. Therefore, a person wearing a white shirt would feel cooler than when wearing a black shirt in direct sunlight.

If the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10m while the speed stays the same at 600 m/s, the frequency of the wave would decrease. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, and increasing the wavelength would result in a lower frequency.
