No, the wavelength of light is actually very short, ranging from nanometers to hundreds of micrometers. Frequency, on the other hand, is high, ranging from hundreds of terahertz to hundreds of petahertz for visible light frequencies.

Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.


The wavelength of light is very long and the frequency is very short true or false?

False. The wavelength of light is inversely related to its frequency. Longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and vice versa.


Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.


How are the frequency and the wavelength of a light wave related?

c = lambda times f f = c / lambda Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion: frequency f to wavelength lambda and wavelength to frequency".


What travels faster short or long wavelength?

Short wavelengths travel faster than long wavelengths. This is because light travels at a constant speed, and since wavelength is inversely related to frequency (shorter wavelength means higher frequency), shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and thus travel faster.


Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?

It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.


Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?

Short-wavelength light carries more energy than long-wavelength light. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency, and shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. This relationship is described by Planck's equation, E = h*f, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


How does the wavelength of light compare to frequency of light?

Ultraviolet light occurs just above the range of electromagnetc radiation that is detectable by the human eye and has a shorter wavelength than violet. This means it has a higher frequency since all light waves are presumed to travell at the same speed, whether visible to us or not. To explain this in simple terms, if two trains are travelling at the same speed, and one has short cars and the other has long cars, the one with the short cars will pass by us more cars per minute than the one with the long cars. This is called frequency...the number of times something happens in a given time frame.


Is the following statement true or false The wavelength of light is very long and the frequency is very short.?

False. The wavelength and frequency of light are inversely related, meaning shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies.


What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?

Scattering of light


What is the relationship of color of light and frequency?

Each colour of visible light has a different frequency. Red has the lowest frequency, meaning it has a long wavelength. Purple has the highest frequency and has a very short wavelength. The order is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. I hope this helps you!


When a wave has high frequency is the wavelength short or long?

When a wave has high frequency, the wavelength is short. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in waves. A higher frequency means more waves pass a given point in a given time, resulting in shorter wavelengths.
