What is the wavelength of solar energy used for photosynthesis?
680 nanometers to 700 nanometers is about optimum for the photosynthetic rate but there are other wave lengths that plants do use.
What portions of the visible spectrum benefit photosynthesis the most?
Energy with shorter weve lengths, such as ultra violet, has higher energy levels than those with longer wave lengths, such as infrareds. So, I assume the portions of the visible spectrum with shorter wave lengths benefit photosynthesis the most.
How did sir isaac newton influenced the way people thought about light?
he said that light consisted of different wavelengths and when it is passed through a prism the wave lengths get split up and form different colours
Which has longer wavelengths x-Ray or radiation?
This is not a good question - x-ray IS radiation. It's just a specific type of radiation and longitude. But its very short - 10^-10 m (1 A). For example - the visible light spectrum is (more or less) from 400 to 800 nm (10^-9 m). That's why you cannot see x-rays.
Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
What electromagnetic radiation has wave lengths shorter then visible light but longer than X-rays?
Ultra-violet light (wavelength approx 10-390 nanometers) lies between visible light (wavelength approx 390-750 nanometers) and X-rays (wavelength approx 0.1-10 nanometers).
Si unit of wave length?
Lengths - including wavelengths - are measured in meters. Of course, multiple or sub-multiples such as kilometers, nanometers, etc. may be used in practice.
What wave lengths is closest to the wave length of red light?
Visible light wavelengths fill the electromagnetic spectrum between red wavelengths and violet wavelengths.
What do nanometers measure?
Nanometers are used to measure extremely small lengths or distances. For example, 25,400,000 nanometers is only 1 inch.
Does black paper absorb wave lengths of light?
No black paper is not translucent ts opaque
Longest color wave lengths?
There is no longest wave-length for light. It can be infinitely long (just as light waves could be infinitely short). The longest visible light that humans can see is about 750 nanometers long, which is 0.00075 of a millimeter. This color would be a shade of red. Some other animals and insects can see slightly longer wavelengths, and many can not even see what we can.
What rhymes with wavelengths?
Some words that rhyme with "wavelengths" include "strengths," "lengths," and "trends."
What is the wavelength of solar energy used for photosynthesis?
680 nanometers to 700 nanometers is about optimum for the photosynthetic rate but there are other wave lengths that plants do use.
In general what are the resonant lengths expressed in wavelengths of a closed air column?
In general the resonant lengths are 1/4, 3/4, 5/4
What causes the different colors in the spectrum?
Visible light contains all of the colors with in the spectrum. The only way we see color is the bending and refraction of the visible light sending certain wave lengths back, which our brain interprets as different colors.
What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?
Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.
What are the wave lengths of the different colors of light?
- Long wavelengths - Mid-size wavelengths - Short wavelengths The reddish colors are the long wavelengths, the mid-size wavelengths are the greenish colors and the short wavelengths are the bluish colors.
