according to the wave theory of light,we have the relation that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency,therefore the electromagnetic wave with the lower wavelength will have higher frequency..

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
What is the formula relating speed of light frequency and wavelength?
the speed of light equals the frequency multiplied by the wavelength.
The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?
The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.
How much light has the higher frequency a light with wave length of 1x10-7meters or 1x10-5?
Always the lower wavelength lambda has a higher frequency f and the higher wavelength has the lower frequency. Speed of medium c = lambda times frequency f = c / wavelength lambda = c / f The wavelength 1x10-5 meters has a higher frequency than the wavelength 1x10-7 meters.
Which has the higher frequency infrared light or ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light has a wavelength below 400 nanometers, infrared;s wavelength is less than 700 nanometers or so. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, so ultraviolet light has a much a much higher frequency than infrared.
How do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum differ?
In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the wave property that changes is the frequency. So for example xrays have higher frequency then blue light which has higher frequency then red light which has higher frequency then radio waves etc.
What did you observe about the wavelength and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
What frequency have the shortest wavelength?
For light they would be gamma rays, or waves with a frequency greater than 1 * 10^20 (10000000000000000000) Hz. And really, as a general rule, the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. If you want to calculate the frequency or wavelength you take the speed of light (~3.00*10^8 m/s) and divide it by either the frequency or wavelength, and your answer will be the wavelength (if you used frequency) or the frequency (if you used wavelength).
What did you observe about the wavelengths and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
Who is wavelenght is longer visible light or ultraviolet light?
Visible light. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?
Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
What has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than ultraviolet light?
uv rays
Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?
Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack
