What equations tell us how fast a wave travels?
Speed of light/wavelength = wave frequency
Can measuring a crest tell you that a wave has high frequency?
when a wave has a higher frequency, its waves are shorter. when a wave has a lower frequency, its waves are longer.
What can be determined from the frequency of a light wave?
the energy of the wave brah
What can be determined from frequency of a light wave?

What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).

when a wave has a higher frequency, its waves are shorter. when a wave has a lower frequency, its waves are longer.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.

What is the difference between unltraviolet light and infrared light?
wavelength and frequency. ultravoilet light has a short wave length and therefore a high frequency, while infrared light has a longer wave length and lower frequency
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
A wave with a frequency that is lower than red?
Red waves have the lowest frequency of all light waves; there is no wave with a lower frequency.
What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
How does frequency relate to light?
Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
Which wave of light had the greatest frequency?
Violet.
