True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?

No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).


What color is light of a wavelength 460nm?

blue


Red light and blue light are different colors because the light that makes them up has different?

Red and Blue light look different because they have different wavelengths. Red has the longest Wavelength and Blue has a shorter wavelength than Red. Hope this helps :)


What is the wavelength of a purple light that has a frequency of 7.421014?

alright, with the given values you have, plug the numbers into this equation: frequency = speed/ wavelength in this case speed is the speed of light 'c' which is 3.0 x 10 ^8 m/s so wavelength = c/f = 300 000 000 (m/s)/ 7.421014Hz = 40425742.36 m = 4.0 x 10^7 m there you go --- gh For your information, purple is not a real colour. It is a combination of red and blue.


What color from blue yellow red or green has the highest energy?

The visible light with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy. That means it is the light at the violet end of the 'rainbow'. Since the wavelength of violet light is very roughly half the wavelength of red light, a beam of violet light carries roughly double the energy of a beam of red light with equal intensity. In the particle world, a violet photon has double the energy (and double the momentum) of a red photon. We know from (E=H times nu) that energy is directly proportional to the frequency.

How does blue light compare with ultraviolet light?

The blue light has longer wavelength, lower frequency, andless energy per photon than the ultraviolet light has.The blue light is also visible to the human eyes, whereas theultraviolet light is not.


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


How do the frequencies of blue light or red light compare?

The frequency of blue light is roughly double the frequency of red light.


What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 451 nm?

What is the diffrence between blue light and green light?

The color, the frequency, and the wavelength.


What the difference between red light and blue light?

red has a lower frequency and a longer wavelength than blue


Which light has high frequency?

The highest frequency (shortest wavelength) of visible lightis the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum.


Does yellow light have more energy than green light?

Yes. Blue light has a lower wavelength than yellow light, which is why it is perceived by out eyes as a different color. Blue light's wavelength is around 450 nanometers and yellow light's wavelength is around 575 nanometers. since the speed of light is constant for all light, and frequency is the speed of light over the wavelength of the light, the larger the wavelength, the lower the frequency. And the lower the frequency, the lower the energy. So the shorter wavelength of light (in this case, blue colored light) has a faster frequency, and therefore more energy.


What is the difference between blue light and green light?

In the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum VIBGYOR, violet having highest frequency is at one extreme and red having the lowest frequency goes to other extreme. So violet with shortest wavelength and red with the longest.


A red light wave and a blue light wave have similarities and differences what are the same wavelength frequency energy and speed?

wavelength frequency energy are different. speed should be the same.


Does blue light have travel at a different frequency than red light in the same medium?

Yes. Blue light has a shorter wavelength, and therefore a higher frequency, than red light.


What is the frequency of blue light with wavelength of 4000 angstroms?

Frequency and wavelength are related by a formula. Please see the following link for more detailed information about this.
