Its apparent color as perceived by the human visual system.

Lower frequencies look redder, while higher frequencies look more bluish or violet. As frequency goes down below the "visible" part of the spectrum, the light becomes "infra-red" or "IR", while higher frequencies above the visible spectrum are called "ultra-violet" or "UV".

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.


Is color related to the frequency of a visible light wave?

Yes. Every different frequency (wavelength) of light is perceived as a different color by the human eye. Except in colorblind people, that is.


What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?

Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.


If one of the waves represents infrared light and one wave represents visible light which wave represents visible light?

Without any other information, the one with a shorter wavelength/higher frequency will be visible light.


How is color related to frequency and wave land?

As far as visible light is concerned violet has highest frequency and shortest wavelength where as red has lowest frequency and so longest wavelength VIBGYOR is the order of colours in the visible spectrum


Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?

How do colors relate to science?

Color is the frequency of visible light. The visible light wave range in frequency from 430 trillion hertz, which is red light, to 750 trillion hertz, or violet light.?æ


Which color registers the highest frequency shortest wave length?

How does related to light?

Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.


How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?

Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength


The wavelength of a light wave can be used to measure?

The wavelength of a light wave can be used to measure the frequency of the wave, as well as its energy. Additionally, it is used to determine the color of the light based on the visible spectrum.
