Chapter 6, Problem 3RQ
To determine

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, does the number of waves passing by you increase, decrease, or stay the same. Does the wavelength increase, decrease, or stay the same, and does the energy of photon increase, decrease, or stay the same.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why do radio waves or electromagnetic waves in general decrease as distance increases?
Consider the following waves representing electromagnetic radiation: Which wave has the longer wavelength? Calculate the wavelength. Which wave has the higher frequency and larger phostate energy? Calculate these values. Which wave has the greater velocity? What type of electromagnetic radiation does each wave represent?
What is the actual Nature of Light? Is it an electromagnetic wave? Is it a stream of particles (photons)?
