What are the most energy rich wavelengths of light?
The most energy rich colors of light are those with the shortest wavelength - violet or blue
Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?
Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther
Is the suns energy a form of light energy?
The sun produces electromagnetic energy in many different wavelengths including those within the spectrum visible by humans (i.e. visible light). This energy is the result of an intense nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core.
What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?
The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths
Are the wavelengths of light at the red end of the spectrum longer or shorter than those at the blue end?
Longer.
What type of wave is a UV light?
A UV light radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than those of violet light but longer than those of x-rays. The radiation is invisible to the human eye.

1 Explain why shorter wavelengths are more dangerous than those with longer wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths have more energy E= hc/w and this greater energy can do greater damage by ionizing atoms and changing chemical reactions and changing atoms even the Nucleus.
The wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth are?
they are longer than those emitted by the sun.
What type of radiation begins with the letter U?
The word is ultraviolet radiation. It is wavelengths that are shorter than those of visible violet light but longer than those of x-rays.
Is the suns energy a form of light energy?
The sun produces electromagnetic energy in many different wavelengths including those within the spectrum visible by humans (i.e. visible light). This energy is the result of an intense nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core.
What result from wavelengths and frequencies of light and sound?
Different wavelengths and frequencies of light are interpreted as different colours; those of sound are interpreted as pitch.

How long are the wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth are?
Longer than those emitted by the Sun
