What are two different types of light waves?
Light waves usually refers to visible light but can also include infra red and ultraviolet light.
What is next to ultraviolet in the light spectrum?
Starting at ultraviolet, longer waves are waves of visible violet light, and shorter waves are X-rays.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
What are ultraviolet and visible light called?
Ultraviolet light, visible light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared waves, and gamma rays are all on the spectrum of light, are all electromagnetic waves (EM waves). Any EM wave can be considered light. EM waves are composed of photons, which has properties of both a particle and a wave. The difference between different waves on the EM wave/light spectrum is their frequency. For example, radio waves have a very low frequency, microwaves have a slightly higher frequency, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.
What are ultraviolet waves?
Light waves that are of slightly higher frequency than you can see.
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.
Which type of waves is not reflected by the ionosphere?
ultraviolet light
What waves to insects use to find nectar?
Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.
How do you use ultraviolet waves in a sentence?
You may experience sunburned skin if you allow your skin to be exposed to the ultraviolet waves that penetrate the clouds on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet waves are at the opposite end of the visible light spectrum from infrared waves. Ultraviolet (UV) waves are longer than X-rays.
Are radio waves and light waves both electromagnetic waves?
Yes. So are heat waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They're all the same thing, only with different wavelengths.
What is the amplitude of ultraviolet waves?
Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.
