Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.

Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?

they are a high frequency


Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?

Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.


What does the frequency of sound and light waves look like?

The frequency of sound waves refers to the number of complete oscillations or cycles per second, measured in hertz. Higher frequency sound waves are perceived as higher pitch and lower frequency waves as lower pitch. For light waves, frequency is associated with the color of light, with higher frequencies corresponding to bluer colors and lower frequencies to redder colors. Light waves have much higher frequencies than sound waves, measured in terahertz (THz) or petahertz (PHz).


Do microwaves have the highest frequency?

No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.


Do x-rays have lighter or lower frequency than light waves?

X-ray has a higher frequency than visible light.


What happens to energy when the frequency of light waves increase?

When the frequency of light waves increases, the energy of the light also increases. This is because energy and frequency are directly proportional in electromagnetic waves, such as light. Therefore, higher frequency light waves carry more energy than lower frequency light waves.


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.


What is the relationship between the frequency o a light wave and its energy?

The energy of a light wave is directly proportional to its frequency. This means that light waves with higher frequencies have higher energies, while light waves with lower frequencies have lower energies. This relationship is described by Planck's equation E = h*f, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


The Doppler effect indicates that the frequency of energy (sound or light) waves when an object is approaching and when an object is moving away?

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of waves (such as sound or light) due to the relative motion between the source of the waves and the observer. When an object is approaching, the waves are compressed, causing a higher frequency, resulting in a higher pitch for sound waves or a blue shift for light waves. When an object is moving away, the waves are stretched, causing a lower frequency, resulting in a lower pitch for sound waves or a red shift for light waves.


This depends on the frequency of the sound waves?

The frequency of sound waves determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves create higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequency waves create lower-pitched sounds.


How is frequency related to color?

Frequency is directly related to color in terms of light waves. Higher frequency waves appear as colors on the violet end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves appear as colors on the red end of the spectrum. The frequency of light waves determines the specific color that is perceived by our eyes.


Do high frequency sound waves have a higher pitch than low frequency sound waves?

Yes, high frequency sound waves have a higher pitch than low frequency sound waves. Pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitch.
