The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.
For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):
* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.
* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.

Do radio waves visible light and x-rays have same frequency in vacuum?
No. The radio waves has got the lowest frequency, light waves has got in between frequency and the X-rays has got the highest frequency of the three types of waves.No.
Is visible light same as ultraviolet light?
No. Simple test: Can you see ultraviolet light ? No you cannot. Therefore it falls under the category of "not visible light".
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.
How can you tell with your eyes if two light waves have different frequencies?
We'd need a bit of information about the waves. If we knew the frequency, we'd know that the lower frequency wave had the greater (longer) wavelength. If we knew the period (the time for one cycle), we'd know that the one with the greater period would have the lower frequency and the greater (longer) wavelength. There might be some other things that would give us the answer, but we'd have to know what kind of wave we were dealing with. A mechanical wave like a wave on water or a sound wave? An electromagnetic wave? What was stated is true for all those waves.
Do x-rays have lighter or lower frequency than light waves?
X-ray has a higher frequency than visible light.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
Light waves move at a higher frequency than?
Visible light has higher frequency than that of infra red radiations. The order of electro magnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency are as follows: Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, ROY G BIV (visible region), ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma ray.
In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?
Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
A wave with a frequency that is lower than red?
Red waves have the lowest frequency of all light waves; there is no wave with a lower frequency.
Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?
they are a high frequency
Do radio waves visible light and x-rays have same frequency in vacuum?
No. The radio waves has got the lowest frequency, light waves has got in between frequency and the X-rays has got the highest frequency of the three types of waves.No.
Do light waves have frequency or wavelength?
They have both.
Is visible light same as ultraviolet light?
No. Simple test: Can you see ultraviolet light ? No you cannot. Therefore it falls under the category of "not visible light".
Does Light waves move at a higher frequency than infrared waves?
yes it does!
