What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
If frequency is tripled what happens to wavelength?
If frequency is multiplied by three, wavelength is divided by three. Higher frequency, shorter wavelength.
Do gamma rays penetrate more than x rays?
Gamma rays have more energy than visible light rays. Visible light has a longer wavelength. Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, and have the most energy of all electromagnetic radiation.
What percentage of sunlight is visible light?
Sunlight is broken down into three major components: (1) visible light, with wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.8 micrometre, (2) ultraviolet light, with wavelengths shorter than 0.4 micrometre, and (3) infrared radiation, with wavelengths longer than 0.8 micrometre. The visible portion constitutes nearly half of the total radiation received at the surface of the Earth.
How would the wavelength and frequency of a red light compare to the wavelengths and frequencies of green and violet lights?
-- Red light has the lowest frequency of those three. -- Green light has lower frequency than violet light has. -- The wavelength of all light is inversely proportional to its frequency.
Where are infrared waves found?
Everywhere. Literally. The universe is filled with infrared radiation and will be until the universe's temperature drops to absolute zero. As for where it is found in abundance : any place that feels warm to you.
Do people can see the ultraviolet rays of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No, it's the other way around; all of the wavelengths of ultraviolet fall on the electromagnetic spectrum. "Electromagnetic" energy includes everything from "radio" to "gamma rays" and beyond. If you multiply the frequency in Hertz (or "cycles per second") times the wavelength in meters, it will always equal the speed of light, "c", which is (approximately) 30,000,000 meters per second. So "radio" is fairly long wavelength, and a low frequency; standard AM radio in the 1000 KHz band has a "wavelength" of about 30 meters. VHF ("Very High Frequency") TV signals (for those of you old enough to remember "over the air TV") was at about 150 megahertz, with a wavelength of 2 meters, while UHF TV ("Ultra-High Frequency") was still higher frequencies - and shorter wavelengths. "Radar" is in the millimeter wavelength; "Micro"-wave radiation is a much higher frequency, and a very "micro" wavelength. (The original brand name of "microwave oven" was called "Radar Range".) There are three bands of "light" in there; the "heat" or "infra-red" light with frequencies lower than visible light (which are below the color red in the spectrum), then "visible" light that our eyes is sensitive to, and then "ultra-violet" or UV light, the spectrum above ("ultra") the violet spectrum of light. Beyond that are X-rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays, and categories that haven't been named yet. This is _ALL_ "electromagnetic energy". Only a tiny sliver of this is "ultraviolet".
What are the three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
What are three components of sunlight?
Ultraviolet radiation , visible light and infrared radiation
What are the three components of electromagnetic waves that are used to describe them?
from high frequency to low you have: gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
What do mirror do to light waves?
there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
