What is c in the wavelength formula?
c = the constant value for the speed of light, or 3.00x 108. If you use this numerical value in your wavelength formula, you will be able to solve correctly.
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
Can light have a single wavelength?
Yes, light can have a single wavelength. A laser generates a coherent beam of light. It's all one frequency, i.e., it's all the same wavelength.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
Why does resolution power not depend on numerical aperture in EM?
The minimum resolvable separation distance of a light microscope depends on the wavelength of illumination and the numerical aperature. Because the electron beam has a far smaller wavelength than light used in light microscopy, it achieves far better resolution and it doesn't even involve the NE.
What function does an aperature have?
It governs the amount of light that is transmitted to the film (or digital imaging device) by virtue of the it's size (diameter). It works in conjunction with the shutter, which controls the amount of light through the time span it is open.
What is the formula for microscopic resolution?
S = (0.61 X λ)/(I x sin(x)) where: S = Resolution λ = wavelength I = Refractive index sin(x) = maximum angle of light gathering Both I and sin(x) are constants for a given objective lens, there product is referred to as N.A. or "Numerical Aperature".
What is c in the wavelength formula?
c = the constant value for the speed of light, or 3.00x 108. If you use this numerical value in your wavelength formula, you will be able to solve correctly.
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
HOW DOES wavelength define light?
It defines light because wavelength has a L in it's word, and so does light.
What is the formula for converting frequency of light into wavelength?
wavelength = c/frequency of light where c is the speed of light.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the Visible light with the shortest wavelength a red light?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Which light wavelength make it through glass faster?
Red light (longer wavelength)
