Best Answer

Light wavelengths are indicators of how often photons rise and fall. Visible light, for example, has a wavlength of about 380 nanometres. Laser wavelengths are measured in the same way.

What is the Wavelength of a red laser pointer?

Typically, most pocket red laser pointers have wavelengths that range between 630nm and 680nm. A helium neon red laser pointer has a wavelength of 633nm.


A helium neon laser emits light of wavelength 633 nm Light from an argon laser has a wavelength of 515 nm Which laser emits the higher frequency light?

according to the wave theory of light,we have the relation that wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency,therefore the electromagnetic wave with the lower wavelength will have higher frequency..

Two characteristics give a DVD more storage than a CD?

The DVD uses a different laser with a smaller wavelength, not the long wavelength red laser that is used for CD's. I believe the DVD laser is in the ultraviolet spectrum. Anywho, the smaller laser allows the DVD to have smaller "bumps" (which is what the laser reads). Since they are smaller, more can fit onto a disk. Also, DVD's can be 2-layer. Twice the data.
