Solution

The correct option is B False
An electromagnetic wave is characterized by its wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν).
This is given by the equation:

ν=cλ, where c is the speed of light.

They are inversely proportional to each other. Thus, by increasing the wavelength, the frequency of the wave decreases.
