What is the light wave measured as?
Energy.
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?
It is False.
How can you derive the unit of frequency from basic units?
If the wave speed is measured in m/s, the wave length is measured in m, and the wave speed divided by the wave length = the frequency, then: m/s / m = 1/s thus the unit of frequency is 1/s or s^-1
How does the length of a light wave affect the amount of energy it contains?
YES. The amount of energy of any wave varies with the wave length of the wave. The longer the wavelength the lower the frequency of the wave,
What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?
"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.
What is the light wave measured as?
Energy.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
How are waves measured?
It depends, if you mean light or sound waves, for example, there are a variety of factors to be measured: The length of a wave from peak to peak is represented with lambda. You can also measure velocity of a wave (how fast and in what direction it is moving). Frequency of light effects the color of the light, and frequency of sound effects its pitch.
How does blue light differ from red light?
red and blue light differ in wave length because blue lights have shorter wave length than red light and shorter wave length are good for plants germination.
What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
For a light wave what is the color of the wave directly dependent on?
length
Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?
It is False.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
How can you derive the unit of frequency from basic units?
If the wave speed is measured in m/s, the wave length is measured in m, and the wave speed divided by the wave length = the frequency, then: m/s / m = 1/s thus the unit of frequency is 1/s or s^-1
Which wave length of light is the longest?
voilet
What are wave length and wave height?
Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.
How does the length of a light wave affect the amount of energy it contains?
YES. The amount of energy of any wave varies with the wave length of the wave. The longer the wavelength the lower the frequency of the wave,
