How do violet light rays differ from red light rays?
They have roughly half the wavelength / twice the frequency.
When the atoms of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are asorbed.
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?
Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.
What are ultraviolet and visible light called?
Ultraviolet light, visible light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared waves, and gamma rays are all on the spectrum of light, are all electromagnetic waves (EM waves). Any EM wave can be considered light. EM waves are composed of photons, which has properties of both a particle and a wave. The difference between different waves on the EM wave/light spectrum is their frequency. For example, radio waves have a very low frequency, microwaves have a slightly higher frequency, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.
What has the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?
There is no such thing as the highest frequency. Since photons or electromagnetic travel at the speed of light its frequency correlates to the energy. The highest energy, and thus the highest frequency, is found in cosmic radiation, where a single photon may carry many millions of kiloelectronvolts.
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
How do violet light rays differ from red light rays?
They have roughly half the wavelength / twice the frequency.
Why are x rays so much more powerfull than visible light rays?
The energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. X rays have a frequency much higher than visible light.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?
From the items on that list, infrared light has the lowest frequency, and X-rays have the highest.
Do X-rays have a higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than visible light with ultraviolet and x-rays between them.
How is frequency related to light?
The frequency of electromagnetic radiation determines whether it is gamma rays, x-rays, radio waves, ultraviolet light, or visible light. Each color of light has its own range of frequencies.
When the atom of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are absorbed
When the atoms of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are asorbed.
Do x-rays have lower or higher frequency than light waves?
Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.
What has a higher frequency than visible light?
Infraded rays
