Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?

Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.


Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?

google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!


In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?

Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.


What determine the color of a light wave?

Its wavelength (or frequency).


A wave with a frequency that is lower than red?

Red waves have the lowest frequency of all light waves; there is no wave with a lower frequency.


How do you calculate the speed of waves?

Speed = Wavelength X Frequency


How do you calculate the waves speed?

Speed = Wavelength X Frequency


Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?

they are a high frequency


Do light waves have frequency or wavelength?

They have both.


Do radio waves visible light and x-rays have same frequency in vacuum?

No. The radio waves has got the lowest frequency, light waves has got in between frequency and the X-rays has got the highest frequency of the three types of waves.No.


Does Light waves move at a higher frequency than infrared waves?

yes it does!


What are ultraviolet waves?

Light waves that are of slightly higher frequency than you can see.
