How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?
The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.

What is the light called that the retina can detect?
"visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types. "visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types.
The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?
The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.

No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?
Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.
Which type electromagnetic waves has slightly longer wavelengths than red light?
There are a few categories of electromagnetic with a shorter wavelength (higher frequency) than visible light. These include ultra-violet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
