How does frequency affect light waves?

Answer 1

Changing the frequency will change the wavelength.

Wow, light moves at the speed of light. Increasing the frequency (the number of waves in a given amount of time) requires reducing the wave length to keep the speed constant.

The frequency of light waves determines their color. Higher frequencies correspond to bluer colors, while lower frequencies correspond to redder colors. Additionally, frequency affects the energy of light waves, with higher frequencies having higher energy.
