c=frequency*lambda [ENDORSED]

[Abhinav Amanaganti 3K]

When can we use the formula c=v*lambda (ex. can we use it for radio waves, microwaves, xrays etc. or only for electrons or light particles)?

[Alice Weber 3I]

This equation is only for electromagnetic radiation. So this would include radio waves, microwaves, xrays, etc.

[Miranda Hess 3I]

We can see in the achieve homework that if the photons are moving with wave-like properties, we can apply electromagnetic equations to particles. They're still moving at the speed of light and the wave properties have a frequency and wavelength.

[Jessica Arcos 2H]

You can use this equation for electromagnetic radiation. So anywhere from radio waves to gamma rays.

[Quinn W 2A]

I believe you can use it for any electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to gamma rays.

[Chem_Mod]

This equation is only for photons of light/electromagnetic radiation. It can not be used for electrons.

[Michelle Gong]

We use tis equation when we are dealing with electromagnetic radiation, but you can use it in variation with other equations, such as E = hv, to find what you need given your circumstance.

[Nico Towfighian 3L]

Normally all the problems we do are going to be within the electromagnetic spectrum, and c=lv will work for all of those problems we are going to do inclass.

[Sophia Dominguez 3I]

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the longer the wavelength the lower the frequency. The product of lambda and frequency is the speed of light, which is equal to 3.00 x 108 m/s. This relationship reflects the fact that all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light. Therefore, the formula c=v*lambda can be used for electromagnetic radiation.

[Jieun 2C]

I believe the equation is only for electromagnetic radiation which is for radio waves, microwaves, and xrays.

[JasmineReyes-2K]

We only use this equation for electromagnetic radiation and photons of light

[KDeguzman_Dis3K]

We use this equation when dealing with electromagnetic radiation.

[Madelyn_Rios_2c]

You use this equation for electromagnetic radiation.
