Concept explainers
(a)
To Explain:The wave which has larger wavelength: radio waves, light waves, X-rays.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by
Here,
Radio wave has higher wavelength than light waves and X-rays because the frequency of radio waves is lower than light wave and X-rays.
Conclusion:
Hence, the radio waves have higher wavelength than light waves and X-rays.
(b)
To Explain:The wave which has high
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by
Here,
The X-rays have higher wavelength than light waves and radio waves, because the wavelength of X-rays is much higher than radio waves and light wave.
Conclusion:
Hence, the X-rays have higherfrequency than light waves and radio waves.
(c)
To Explain:The wave which has higher velocity radio waves, light waves, X-rays.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by
Here
Light waves,X-rays and radio waves have same speed in vacuum.
