What waves are 0.4-0.7 micrometers in length?
Visible light waves are of this range. 400 nm to 700 nm. Colours range from violet to red.
Why does a soap bubble show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light?
The bubble diffracts light waves inside it, splitting white light into the colors of the rainbow.
What properties do light waves and waves in a fishpond share?
There are TWO THEORIES of light propagation, WAVE and PARTICLE. The WAVE theory shares commonality with waves in a Pond in that they are both represented by a SINE Wave. They each have an Amplitude and a Frequency.
Explain the connection between light waves and color?
Colours are just light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths. Colour -Wavelength Red Light is ~700 Nano Metres Orange Light is ~ 600 Nano MetresYellow Light is ~ 570 Nano MetresGreen Light is ~ 520 Nano MetresBlue Light is ~ 490 Nano MetresViolet Light is ~ 420 Nano Metres
The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy that is carried by the waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves.
Which electromagnetic waves enables colours of an object to be seen and recognized?
Visible light.
What waves are 0.4-0.7 micrometers in length?
Visible light waves are of this range. 400 nm to 700 nm. Colours range from violet to red.
What are similarities of light and sound?
They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.
Why does a soap bubble show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light?
The bubble diffracts light waves inside it, splitting white light into the colors of the rainbow.
What are the similarities between P-waves and S-waves?
They are waves.
What properties do light waves and waves in a fishpond share?
There are TWO THEORIES of light propagation, WAVE and PARTICLE. The WAVE theory shares commonality with waves in a Pond in that they are both represented by a SINE Wave. They each have an Amplitude and a Frequency.
What the similarities between echoes of sound and images in a mirror?
Echoes of sound and images in a mirror involves sound waves and light waves respectively being reflected off a surface.
What are the similarities between ripples in water and electromagnetic waves?
The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.
Are rainbows made up of matter?
no they are made up of light waves. they are energy in the form of light, which has been split up into its different wavelenghts and therefore different colours.
What are similarities between S-waves P-waves and surface waves?
they start at a earthquake.
Explain the connection between light waves and color?
Colours are just light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths. Colour -Wavelength Red Light is ~700 Nano Metres Orange Light is ~ 600 Nano MetresYellow Light is ~ 570 Nano MetresGreen Light is ~ 520 Nano MetresBlue Light is ~ 490 Nano MetresViolet Light is ~ 420 Nano Metres
Why do the colors split up in the spectrum?
White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.
