Do yellow light or red light have lower energy?

Red light has lower energy than yellow light. The energy of a light wave is directly proportional to its frequency, with red light having a lower frequency and therefore lower energy compared to yellow light.


What has a longer wave length a infrared radiation or red light?

Infrared radiation has a lower frequency and longer wavelength than red light. Note that "infra" means "below" in this case referring to the lower frequency.


What can be determined from the frequency of a light wave?

The frequency of a light wave corresponds to its color or wavelength. Higher frequency light waves have shorter wavelengths and are in the violet-blue end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves have longer wavelengths and fall in the red-orange end of the spectrum. The frequency of light also affects its energy, with higher frequency light waves carrying more energy than lower frequency ones.


Does the color red have a lower frequency than the color green?

No, the color red has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than the color green. In the visible light spectrum, red light has a frequency of approximately 430–480 THz while green light has a frequency of approximately 530–580 THz.


What is the relationship between color and frequency and energy of an electromagnetic wave?

Color is determined by the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to colors at the blue end of the spectrum and lower frequencies corresponding to colors at the red end. Energy is directly proportional to frequency, so higher frequency waves (e.g., blue light) have more energy than lower frequency waves (e.g., red light).

What color is invisable too the eye?

The human eye can only perceive the colors from violent to red. All colors that have a wave frequency higher than violent, "ultra-violent", and have a wave frequency lower than red, "infra-red", are invisible to the human eye. Since we cannot see these colors, we do not have names for them other than their frequencies.

Why is frequency of red greater than violet?

The frequency of red light is lower than the frequency of violet light. This is because red light has a longer wavelength, which corresponds to a lower frequency. This difference in frequency is what causes red light to be more common than violet light in natural light sources.

Is the frequency of a red light higher than a violet light?

No, it is lower.


Does infrared rays have a lower frequencies than visible red light?

Yes, it is lower on the spectrum than red light, which is the lowest visible frequency.


When the source of a wave is moving relative to an observer of the wave what happens?

If the source of a wave is moving towards the observer, the observer will perceive a higher frequency (blue shift) in the wave. If the source is moving away, the observer will perceive a lower frequency (red shift) in the wave. This is known as the Doppler effect.
