What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
How does the frequency of a gamma ray change as tis wavelength decreases?
Less wavelength implies more frequency. The product of wavelength x frequency is always the speed of the wave - in this case, the speed of light.
What happenes to the frequency of light when its wavelength increases or decreases?
wavelength = speed of light/frequency so we rearrange frequency = speed of light/wavelength Hopefully you can figure it out from here...
What happens to the wavelength of lights as the frequency increases?
For any wave (not just light), the product of the wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave. For light in a vaccum, the speed is constant (ca. 300 million m/s). - thus, as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to wavelength?
It will not change. Glass slows light but does not change it frequency.

A change in wavelength produces what change on light?
Frequency, color, energy in each photon.
What happens to signal's wavelength as its frequency increases?
Using the relationship C = n lambda C - velocity of light, n-frequency of radiation and lambda- the wavelength. So as frequency increases definitely its wavelength decreases.
What is the formula for converting frequency of light into wavelength?
wavelength = c/frequency of light where c is the speed of light.

wavelength = speed of light/frequency so we rearrange frequency = speed of light/wavelength Hopefully you can figure it out from here...

Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?
Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
How do the wavelength and frequency of red light compare to the wavelength and frequency of blue light?
very nice answer.
