- Frequency = cycles/second
- Wavelength = distance/cycle
- Frequency * Wavelength = cycles/second * distance/cycle = distance/second = speed of propagation of that type of wave
For other types of waves this may be constant or vary in complex ways across the spectrum.

What is the wave length of radar?
It depends on the frequency; The equation for wavelength is 300/frequency in megahertz. A radio emitting energy at 30MHz is producing waves 10 meters long.But since radars usually work up in the SHF and EHF spectra, the wavelengths are measured in centimeters or millimeters. An example: You are a cop who catches speeders with a K-band radar. It, like every other K-band radar, emits at 24.150GHz, or 24,150MHz. So...using that equation, you will find the wavelength is 1.2 centimeters.
Which photon has the greatest energy?
All particles which represents a quantum of light and other electromagnetic radiation is called photon. The photons with the highest energies are gamma or X-rays, UV light, Blue light, and radio waves.
What is the difference between a continuous spectrum an a line spectrum?
Dispersion, the separation of visible light into a spectrum, may be accomplished by means of a prism or a diffraction grating. Each different wavelength or frequency of visible light corresponds to a different color, so that the spectrum appears as a band of colors ranging from violet at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end of the spectrum through indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange, to red at the long-wavelength (low-frequency) end of the spectrum. In addition to visible light, other types of electromagnetic radiation may be spread into a spectrum according to frequency or wavelength. The spectrum formed from white light contains all colors, or frequencies, and is known as a continuous spectrum. Continuous spectra are produced by all incandescent solids and liquids and by gases under high pressure. A gas under low pressure does not produce a continuous spectrum but instead produces a line spectrum, i.e., one composed of individual lines at specific frequencies characteristic of the gas, rather than a continuous band of all frequencies. If the gas is made incandescent by heat or an electric discharge, the resulting spectrum is a bright-line, or emission, spectrum, consisting of a series of bright lines against a dark background. A dark-line, or absorption, spectrum is the reverse of a bright-line spectrum; it is produced when white light containing all frequencies passes through a gas not hot enough to be incandescent. It consists of a series of dark lines superimposed on a continuous spectrum, each line corresponding to a frequency where a bright line would appear if the gas were incandescent. The Fraunhofer lines appearing in the spectrum of the sun are an example of a dark-line spectrum; they are caused by the absorption of certain frequencies of light by the cooler, outer layers of the solar atmosphere. Line spectra of either type are useful in chemical analysis, since they reveal the presence of particular elements. The instrument used for studying line spectra is the spectroscope.
What wavelength for uv sterilizer bulb?
According to <http:/www.heraeus-noblelight.com/en/uv-disinfection-oxidation/information-for-disinfection-and-oxidation/services-and-events/emission-spectra-of-germicidal-lamps.html> 254nm appears to be the most common. Shorter wavelengths appear to create ozone
Who discovered the atomic emission spectra?
thomas Jefferson
What can you observed with the values of the product of frequency and wavelength in the different spectra?
The product of a wave's frequency and its wavelength is always its speed.
What can you observe with the values of the product frequency and wavelength in the different spectra?
The product of a wave's frequency and its wavelength is always its speed.
What can you observe with the values of the product of frequency and wave length in the spectra?
It is a constant which is equal to the speed.
What are the different color spectra of a LED?
A single LED emits light at one single frequency, so it has no spectrum.
Where can one go to find product reviews for the Motorola Spectra?
Product reviews for the Motorola Spectra can be obtained off of Ebay or Amazon. These are the places to find product reviews for the Motorola Spectra.
How many different categories of em waves are there?
There are hundreds if not thousands of different categories for EM radiation that extend through history. From the broad: radio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, X-ray, gamma, the modifiers "short wave" and "long wave"... to the specific colors of each line/ wavelength / frequency, to the characteristic spectra of the elements and / or chemical compounds.
What is the wavelength of 550nm?
550 nm sounds pretty much like a wavelength, so what's the question? It's in the visible spectra, the color green.
Do lines of a particular element appear at the same wavelength in both emission and absorption line spectra?
Yes.
What is the Wavelength barium?
Barium has an atomic spectra of lines, not only one line (with one wavelength); I reccomend to consult a catalog of spectral lines. See the link below.
What is extinction spectra?
The extinction spectra is actually the measurement of light absorption in different mediums. This spectra is used in chemistry and biochemistry.
Why are the coloured bands of a line spectrum so narrow?
Line spectra have zero width by definition. However, for measured data this is impossible because that would require infinite time to make the measurement. Electronic spectrum analyzers do the frequency measurements over a given period of time, and the minimal width of the spectral line is inversely proportional to the measurement time period. This is the case if the source of the energy is truly frequency (or wavelength) invariant. In physics, the measurement device may be optical, in which case the minimal width of the line spectra is dependent on the characteristics of that device. If the radiation from the sun is viewed using a prism, you will not be able to see any fixed spectral lines, since the energy source is heat radiation which is broad spectrum. Therefore, when the line spectra are very narrow, then the frequency/wavelength variation of the radiation source is very stable. The measurement device can also limit the width of the line spectra measurements. You would like to have it be able to show very thin widths so that the measurement device does not affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Why is it that different light sources have different types of spectra?
Different atoms have a different number of electrons. This is why they show different spectra.
