Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
In a vacuum, what is the relationship between the speed of an electromagnetic wave (c), its frequency (ν), and its wavelength (λ)?
A
c = νλ
B
c = ν/λ
C
c = λ/ν
D
c = ν^2λ
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
From Maxwell's equations, in a vacuum, the speed of an electromagnetic wave is given by c = νλ, where c is the speed of light, ν is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.
