Physics

Wavelength vs. Frequency Relationship

Quick fact

Radio waves can be as long as a football field, while gamma rays are smaller than an atom—yet both travel at the same speed in a vacuum, proving that shorter wavelength means higher frequency.

Why this is interesting

You can tune a radio to different stations, but did you know that the length of the wave determines whether it carries music or can see through your skin?
