PHY 104 Reflection and Refraction of Light Objective Question

Question

According to the document, what is the fundamental relationship between the speed of light (c), its wavelength (λ), and its frequency (f) for an electromagnetic wave?
Options
A c = λ + f
B c = λ / f
C c = λf
Correct Answer
D c = f / λ
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 3 states the relationship as "c = λf.". This equation connects the speed of light, its wavelength, and its frequency.

Hint

Recall the basic wave equation that relates speed, wavelength, and frequency.
