Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
A combination of waves from a larger wave?
smaller in amplitude: sin(x), -3/2 sin(x) cancel out to become -sin(x)/2, which has a smaller amplitude smaller wavelength: sin(x), sin(x), "combine" them by multiplying together. The wavelength is reduced by 2 If you are looking for an addition of waves that gets the smaller wavelength of a sine wave, here is the simplest one I can find. It is an infinite addition, and the result is sin(2x), a wave that has a smaller wavelength than the individual waves: sum from k=0 to infinity of sin(k*pi/2+z0)(2x-z0)k / k!
Why are atoms invisible to visible light?
An atom is smaller than a single wavelength of visible light
To scatter a beam of radiation a particle must be smaller in size than the wavelength of the radiation involved?
False
Is it possible to see an atom using visible light?
No, it is not possible because the size of an atom is smaller than the wavelength of light.
What is the wavelength of gamma ray?
The wavelength of a gamma-ray is 10-11 metres
Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
Why are electron microscopes capable of revealing details much smaller than those shown in a light microscope?
To put it in very simple terms, because the wavelength of an electron is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light.
What happens to wavelength of light when in travels in a narrow tube narrower in diameter than the wavelength?
It grows a penis on its nose
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
Why is it difficult to demonstrate diffraction of light waves?
To demonstrate the phenomena of diffration in light,the wavelength must be smaller than wavelength of light,which is very difficult,because ligth has very short wavelength.

Where does Daphnia gets energy?
It gets its energy from eating food smaller than itself
What happens to the frequency if you increase your wavelength and keep wave speed the same?
There is no way to change the wave speed, propagation speed other than changing the density of the medium. If you increase the frequency the wavelength gets shorter, which is true with both light and sound, so if the wavelength is increased the frequency will be less. Since the speed slows in a denser material we can make lenses and prisms.
Why does x rays light get farther into your bodies than ultraviolet?
Xrays have smaller wavelengths, and can only been seen from the shadows it makes on xray paper. X-rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet, thus making them smaller photons, hard x-radiation has a wavelength around .01 nanometers and ultraviolet has a wavelength around 10 nanometers at the shortest wavelength. This means it is easier for the smaller x-rays to penetrate the human body than ultraviolet wavelengths. 1000 nanometers = 1 micron, 1000000 microns = 1 millimeter
