What does lambda represent in scientific equations?
Usually, lambda represents wavelength. It can also represent other things as shown on the link I added.
What does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation represent?
The wavelength is a measure of distance between the peaks of an electromagnetic signal, or its troughs. For example, consider CB radio frequency and wavelength: Frequency, fr = 27 MHz or 27,000,000 Hz Wavelength, wL = c / fr c = 300,000,000 m/sec. Thus, 11.1 meters = 36.4 feet. So, as I understand it, in one complete cycle at 27 MHz, the sine wave signal, as it radiates from the antenna, would have a spacing between peaks of 11.1 meters (36.4 feet). It's kind of hard to wrap your mind around a signal of that high a frequency having such large space between peaks for one complete cycle, but that is why the antenna for CB radio are so large in dimension.
What do the amplitude and frequency of a sound wave represent?
Amplitude: 'loudness'Frequency: 'pitch'
Why does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infared region?
Well, it's hard not to say "It's just the way it is", because it follows a law of Physics, but I'll try to explain the best I can.Up the electromagnetic spectrum is this order. Radio, Microwave, Infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma. The higher up the radiation, the smaller the wavelength (the length of the wave, intuitively), and the higher the frequency (the amount of "waving" done in a second).Since frequency (aforementioned) is directly proportional to Energy with the equation E=hf (or instead of "f", "v" as wikipedia loves to call it), it makes sense that the higher the frequency, the higher the energy per photon. Right?UV is definitely above infrared in this case, and has been repeatedly proven through experiments to be on a higher tier than infrared radiation.
What is the scientific meaning of the phrase 'frequency response'?
The scientific meaning of the phrase "frequency response" refers to a curve used in physics or engineering to represent the output to input ratio of a transducer as a function of frequency.
What does lambda represent in scientific equations?
Usually, lambda represents wavelength. It can also represent other things as shown on the link I added.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.
What does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation represent?
The wavelength is a measure of distance between the peaks of an electromagnetic signal, or its troughs. For example, consider CB radio frequency and wavelength: Frequency, fr = 27 MHz or 27,000,000 Hz Wavelength, wL = c / fr c = 300,000,000 m/sec. Thus, 11.1 meters = 36.4 feet.

What do the diff rent col ores of visible light represent?
Not quite sure what you mean by "represent"; physically, each color has a different frequency, and thus also a different wavelength.
What does color represent?
A:Each and every color has its own representation: red is for love, yellow for friendship, etc. Some colors represent goodness where as others something else.A:From a scientific standpoint, a color is simply how our eyes perceive a particular wavelength of visible light. Red light has the longest wavelength of the colors we can see, while violet has the shortest. So a color represents a particular frequency on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.
What are ways to represent linear equations?
One of the most common ways to represent linear equations is to use constants. You can also represent linear equations by drawing a graph.
What does the a represent in physics equations?
"a" can represent (normally) acceleration.
What is the relationship between geometry and non-linear equations?
Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.
What do the numbers inside a spectroscope represent?
wavelength
What is true about a system of two linear equations that has no solution?
The two equations represent parallel lines.
Graphs are representations of equations.?
Line graphs may represent equations, if they are defined for all values of a variable.
Which of these equations could represent the relationship between m and n?
None of these could represent anything!
