Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

The wavelength is the distance between successive wave crests, while the frequency is the number of waves that pass the observer per second. All forms of EM radiation travel in a vacuum at 300,000 km/sec., and this velocity is the product of the wavelength X the frequency of the radiation.
