Which color on the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
yellow
Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?
The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
What color on the color spectrum is closest to an x-ray?
Ok, the electromagnetic spectrum is RadioWaves-Microwaves-Infrared-(red orange yellow green blue violet)-UltraViolet-XRay-Gamma These are part of the visible color spectrum So violet would be the answer.
What color travels the slowest?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
Is white light a single color- Does it have a place in the electromagnetic spectrum like red and blue do?
white light is not a single color..it is made up of 7 different colors which include red and blue and yes it is there in the electromagnetic spectrum between ultraviolet and infrared radiation
What is the relationship of the colors you saw and the lines of the electromagnetic spectrum produced by metals?
Each chemical element has a different spectrum; and each color has a specific wavelength.
What does blue and green light make?
Blue and Green make the color Red in the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum.
Which color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the lowest energy?
Red light.
What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?
Red, I believe.
Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?
"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.
