Each color has a different frequency and wavelength;
with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.

How is a light wave different than any other wave?
ligt waves are different from other ways because they have charicteristics of particles and waves. It has never been proven that it is one or the other. Youngs double slit experiment shows us that light waves diffract and interfere.
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 happens when all colors of light shine togeher?
all colours are constantly shining because colour is just different sized light waves that our mind perceives in different colours, and the blue light wave is the largest so it gets bounced around by particles, so you would see blue (also explaining why the sky is blue)
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
Can you separate white light?
Yes, very easily. A ray of white light can be split be shining it through a prism (triangular glass block) or a raindrop: both create a spectrum, or rainbow, of split up colours. This works because white light is made up from different colours of light that are all waves with different wavelengths/frequencies. This means that the colours are all refracted (bent) by different amounts when they go through the prism/drop, causing the ray of white light to split up into its components.
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
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.
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.
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
Which electromagnetic waves enables colours of an object to be seen and recognized?
Visible light.

Why do the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum split up?
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.
How is visible light different from the other waves and rays on the electromagnetic spectrum?
It has a different wavelength and frequency.
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.
Different colors are the result of?
Every object in the universe has a unique way of absorbing energy. Therefore they reflect various rays of wavelengths. Hence, the different colours is the result of the light waves with different wavelengths.
What happens when all colors of light shine togeher?
all colours are constantly shining because colour is just different sized light waves that our mind perceives in different colours, and the blue light wave is the largest so it gets bounced around by particles, so you would see blue (also explaining why the sky is blue)
