What does fluoresce mean?
Fluorescent means something is glowing, usually with visible light. Fluorescent means giving off visible (or invisible) radiation as a result of absorbing shorter wavelength radiation.
Do blue visible light and red visible light have the same wavelength?
No, blue and red visible light have different wavelengths. if you see the rainbow, blue and red can been seen on separate stripes which means they have different wavelengths.
What wave causes sunburn?
In general, it is ultraviolet light (the UV ray) that causes sunburn. Ultraviolet light is of a higher frequency than visible light, which means shorter wavelength, and higher energy. UV rays tend to do some tissue damage and burn skin causing sunburn.
What are the wavelengths for each of the seven colors of a rainbow?
Violet: 380 - 450 nm Blue: 450 - 475 nm Green: 495 - 570 nm Yellow: 570 - 590 nm Orange: 590 - 620 nm Red: 620 - 750 nm 'nm' means 'nanometre'. One nanometre is 0.000000001 metres.
What type of word describes the electromagnet waves with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
Shorter wavelengths means higher frequency, and electromagnetic waves with higher energy. Beyond the blue end of the visible light you have ultraviolet rays; X-rays; and gamma-rays, in that order.

Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
What did you observe about the wavelength and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
What did you observe about the wavelengths and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?
a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
Has an ultravoilet radiation have a longer wavelength than light?
No. Ultra means "shorter than" in this case.
What is the wavelength of light waves?
If you mean visible light, that is between about 380 and 780 nm, depending on the color of the light. nm means nanometer - 1 nm = 0.000 000 001 meter. In other words, the wavelength of visible light is slighty less than a micron.
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 does the energy associated with waves change as the wavelength changes?
a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
What wave causes sunburn?
In general, it is ultraviolet light (the UV ray) that causes sunburn. Ultraviolet light is of a higher frequency than visible light, which means shorter wavelength, and higher energy. UV rays tend to do some tissue damage and burn skin causing sunburn.
