Scattering of light
The bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from short to long wavelengths are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
Ultraviolet rays have short wavelengths compared to visible light, ranging from about 10 to 400 nanometers.
No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.
Scattering of light
Light waves with shorter wavelengths bend more compared to light waves with longer wavelengths when passing through a medium due to the phenomenon of dispersion. This is why we see rainbows, where shorter wavelengths (violet/blue) are bent more than longer wavelengths (red) when passing through water droplets.
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
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.
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.
Short wavelengths.
The difference is that with the longer wavelengths, the lower the frequency and the speed of the waves will be. The smaller the wavelength is, the higher the frequency and the speed will be. Wavelength is measured by the distance between two spectrums (the highest point on the wave) do not copy this answer.write it in your own words or you will learn nothing. also, if you copy, that is plagarism. I hope you enjoy this breif definiton. thank you.
The sun gives off a range of wavelengths, including both short and long wavelengths. The majority of the sun's energy is in the form of visible light, which falls in the mid-range of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the sun also emits shorter wavelength ultraviolet radiation and longer wavelength infrared radiation.
Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.
