Which statement correctly describes the relationships between wavelength, frequency, and energy?



A.
As frequency increases, energy increases and wavelength increases.

B.
As frequency increases, energy decreases and wavelength increases.

C.
As frequency increases, energy decreases and wavelength decreases.

D.
As frequency increases, energy increases and wavelength decreases.

Answer 1

D.

Because E = hν (energy is directly proportional to frequency) and c = λν (wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency), so increasing frequency increases energy and decreases wavelength.
