In the visible spectrum, the color of light depends on the frequency. which statement best describes the wavelengths of a certain frequency? a) a low frequency wave has a long wavelength. b) a low frequency wave has a short wavelength. c) a high frequency wave has a wavelength that is not measurable. d) a high frequency wave and a low frequency wave have the same wavelengths

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is know that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

Mathematically,      

where           = wavelength

                               v = frequency

                               c = speed of light

Therefore, when there will be increase in wavelength then there will be decrease in frequency and vice-versa.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement a low frequency wave has a long wavelength best describes the wavelengths of a certain frequency.
