    as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

    Explanation:

    Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

    c = λ f

    E = E cos (kx - wt)

    Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

    w = 2π f = 2π / T

    Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

    This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

    E = h f

    Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

    In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase
