What determine the color of a light wave?

Its wavelength (or frequency).


Do light waves have frequency or wavelength?

They have both.


Explain the difference between the waves that make up bright green light and dim red light.?

Waves of bright green light have higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and higher amplitude than waves of dim red light have. For example, if the colors were red and blue, Red light has a wavelength of 750 nm and blue light has a wavelength of 500 nm. Their wavelengths will differ.


How do you calculate the frequency of light waves?

by dividing the speed of light with its wavelength


What is the diffrence between the waves that make up bright green light and dim red light?

The bright green light has a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and a smaller amplitude than the dim red 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.


What is the frequency of a light wave with a wavelength of 650?

The velocity of the light waves must be given before the frequency can be find.


What is the number of centimeters between waves of light?

The measure of a light's frequency is called wavelength.


Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack


Order the types of waves from lowest frequency and wavelength to the highest?

There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


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.
