Which of the following statements correctly compares the frequency and energy of microwaves and visible light waves?
(1 point)
Responses
Microwaves have lower frequencies than visible light waves. Since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, microwaves also have a shorter wavelength than visible light waves.
Microwaves have lower frequencies than visible light waves. Since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, microwaves also have a shorter wavelength than visible light waves.
Microwaves have higher frequencies than visible light waves. Since frequency and wavelength are directly proportional, microwaves also have longer wavelengths than visible light waves.

The correct statement is:
**Microwaves have lower frequencies than visible light waves. Since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, microwaves also have longer wavelengths than visible light waves.**
Here's the breakdown of the concepts:
1. **Frequency**: Microwaves have lower frequencies than visible light waves.
2. **Wavelength**: Because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional (as one increases, the other decreases), microwaves, having lower frequencies, will have longer wavelengths than visible light waves.
The other statements contain inaccuracies regarding the relationship between frequency and wavelength.
