1.)
The electromagnetic waves (wave nature) or radiations (energy nature) are comprised of electric and magnetic field vectors vibrating perpendicular to each other in a plane normal to the direction of propagation of them. The frequency (f), speed (c) and wavelength (lambda) are related as,
c = f * lambda.

The speed of all the EM radiations be same in the free space, hence as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. On the basis of increasing wavelength or decreasing frequency the EM ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
