Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?

That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.


What happens when electromagnetic waves with frequencies lower than ultraviolet light shine on glass?

It reflects and can be seen on lets say you do it on a mirror in your room, it will reflect and be seen on teh wall across from it!( works better in teh dark) Hope this helps :) you don no ma :D


Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?

Low-pitched sounds have a lower frequency.


Frequencies to low for people to hear are called what?

"Subaudible" frequencies.


What would a red object look like shone onto a blue light?

Red and blue are at opposite ends of the visible light spectrum, red being of low frequency, and blue being of high frequency. Sunlight contains frequencies across the whole frequency range, which appears white. An object that appears white reflects all frequencies. A red object appears red because it reflects red (low frequency) light, and absorbs all other colours. Blue light contains only high frequencies. If you are in a darkened room, lit only by blue light, white objects will appear blue because they are reflecting the blue light, and no other frequency is available. But a red object absorbs high-frequency (blue) light, and since this is the only light in the room, it does not reflect any light. Objects that do not reflect any light appear black. Some objects appear black even in sunlight, because they absorb all frequencies and do not reflect any. So to answer the question, when you have a red object that is lit only by blue light, it will appear black.

What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?

Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.

Do hearing looses develop at low frequencies faster or slower then they do at high frequencies?

The high frequencies suffer first, with age.


Electromagnetic radiation behaves like a particle when it?

Light can behave as a particle and a wave at the same time. An example of light acting as both a particle and a wave is the digital camera---the lens refracts (bends and focuses) waves of light that hit a charge-coupled device (CCD). The photons kick electrons out of the silicon in the CCD. The electrons are detected by electronics that interpret the number of electrons released and their position of release from the silicon to create an image. Another example is when you observe the build-up of the alternating light and dark pattern from diffraction (a wave phenomenon) from light passing through a narrow slit. You see one bright spot (a photon), then another bright spot (another photon), then another... until the diffraction pattern is created from all of the accumulated photons. This happens so quickly that it is undetectable to the human eye.


Is light part of the radio spectrum?

No, light is not part of the radio spectrum. But, both the radio spectrum and light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of frequencies from very low to very high. Light frequencies are higher than radio frequencies but both are the same kind of thing.


Do long tuning forks have high or low frequencies?

low! :)


Why do low frequency waves travel longer distances?

High frequencies are more damped by air than low frequencies.


What is Crossover claim?

How does the spectrum of white light from the sun?

White light contains all the colors. The different colors of light are at different frequencies. On the high frequency end you have violet and on the low end you have red.


Is the frenquency of the ultraviolet high or low?

it is the lowest frequency possible.


Can you have a high bass frequency?

Yes, you can have a high bass frequency. Prolonged exposure to high frequencies can cause hearing loss. In audio work, "bass" usually refers to the low frequencies; "treble" refers to higher frequencies.
