diffraction splits light, it wouldnt split particles but it would split a wave

What did you observe with the product of wavelength and frequency for each color?

Well, I wasn't actually there, so I didn't observe anything. But from my education and personal experience, I know that the product of the wavelength and frequency of any wave is the wave's speed. So I should expect that the product of wavelength and frequency for any color of light, and for that matter, any electromagnetic wave, is always the same number, and ought to always be very close to the speed of light in the medium in which you observed it, or would have observed it had you been there.


Does interference occur when one wave is brighter than another and the fainter wave cannot be observed?

Interference does not occur when one wave is brighter than another, and the fainter wave cannot be observed. It occurs when two or more waves overlap.


What type of wave does light travel as?

A sonic wave.


Hotter stars glow with light that is more intense at?

Hotter stars flow with light that is more intense at shorter wave lengths. The hottest stars emit their radiation in short violet light wavelengths. Their light appears blue white when observed.


What kind of wave does light have?

I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
