The wavelength of an X-ray is much shorter than the wavelength of a red light from a neon sign. The frequency is much longer in an X-ray than the frequency of a red light from a neon sign.

How does the length of a pipe compare with the frequency and wavelength of the sound it can make?
The longer the pipe, the longer the wavelength, and the lower the frequency. The pipe organ is the world's best workshop for fully understanding those concepts.
Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?
Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack
Is the longest wavelength violet?
No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).
How do you relate characteristics of light such as colour and intensity to frequency and wavelength?
The only reasonable way to relate a frequency or wavelength (the two are related by a very simple equation, so they're effectively the same information) to a color is by looking at a table or chart; there's no mathematical equation that you can put a number in and get out "red" as the answer. Intensity has nothing to do with color, frequency, or wavelength, so there's no way to relate it to any of those properties.
Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?
The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths
How would the wavelength and frequency of a red light compare to the wavelengths and frequencies of green and violet lights?
-- Red light has the lowest frequency of those three. -- Green light has lower frequency than violet light has. -- The wavelength of all light is inversely proportional to its frequency.

What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?
Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?
Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.
Is the longest wavelength violet?
No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).
Why wavelenth changes with speed of light?
Wavelength does not change with the speed of light, nor does the speed of light change for different wave lengths. Wavelength x frequency = c (the speed of light) always for any given medium through which it travels. Greater wavelength yields lower frequency, so the speed is always the same. Speed changes as light passes into different media transparent to light, but the change in speed has nothing to do with any change in frequency or wavelength. Those are related only to the nature of the material and the particular light energies it may pass or absorb. So white light passing through a red filter emerges red because the blue and green frequencies have been absorbed by the filtering material. That change in wavelength and frequency is not related to any change in speed within the filter.
Which wave would have a longer wavelength those with 56 Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?
56 Hz.
Which color of visible light travels the slowest through a glass prism?
The lowest frequency / longest wavelength of visible light are those of the last color you can see on the RED end of the rainbow.
