The shorter the wavelength of light, the higher its frequency.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Suppose that a ship is accelerating through space in such a way that the passengers are experiencing a constant force (due to the thrust of the ship) equivalent to the total weight of the ship and passengers on Earth.
 
  From the point of view of observers on Earth, how does the ship accelerate? A) It has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, therefore increasing its speed by 9.8 m/s with each passing second.
  B) At first, it has a nearly constant acceleration of 9.8 m/ s2. But as it approaches the speed of light, its acceleration gradually slows in such a way that it never stops accelerating, but never reaches the speed of light either.
  C) At first, it has a very large accelerationmuch larger than 9.8 m/s2. But when it reaches the speed of light it stops accelerating.
  D) It has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of half the speed of light. Then its acceleration suddenly slows so that it can't go much faster.
