What happens to the wavelength of light as the frequency increases?

Group of answer choices

the wavelength decreases

the wavelength stays the same

the wavelength becomes an infrared ray

the wavelength increases

1 answer

The correct answer is: the wavelength decreases.

In the relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) of light, they are inversely related through the equation:

\[ c = f \cdot \lambda \]

where \( c \) is the speed of light. As the frequency (f) increases, the wavelength (λ) must decrease in order to maintain the constant speed of light.
