Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Waves with high frequency have ____ Wavelength.
A
Long
B
Short
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).

Detailed explanation-3: -Gamma Rays-have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy associated with a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. Hence, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the higher the energy of the wave.
