What has wavelengths that are shorter than light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
Is the wavelength of x-rays longer or shorter then the wavelengths of visible light?
"shorter"
Why is early morning sunrise orange in color?
You mean as opposed to those late afternoon sunrises? Sunrises and sunsets are shifted towards the red end of the spectrum because the atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths more effectively. Because of the angle, light at sunrise and sunset is going through a thicker "slice" of the atmosphere, and the shorter wavelengths get scattered out, while the longer reds and oranges make it through.
What happens to wavelengths as waves approach shore?
they get shorter
How would you describe the wavelengths of incoming solar radiation compared to the wavelengths of reradiated heat?
The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic wave has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
Ultraviolet and up have shorter wavelengths.
What type of invisible energy with shorter wavelengths then violet?
This is the ultraviolet light.
1 Explain why shorter wavelengths are more dangerous than those with longer wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths have more energy E= hc/w and this greater energy can do greater damage by ionizing atoms and changing chemical reactions and changing atoms even the Nucleus.
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
Does ultraviolet light have short wavelengths?
The answer depends on "compared to what"? UV wavelengths are shorter than x-rays and longer than microwaves.
