There are 7 different types of visible light
violet: 668-789 THz
indigo: 668-714 THz
blue: 606-668 THz
green: 526-606 THz
yellow: 508-526 THz
orange: 484-508 THz
red: 400-484 THz
1THz = 10^3 GHz = 10^6 MHz = 10^3 kHz = 10^12 Hz

Where do visable light waves come from?
Visible light wave sources. Light bulbs and stars are good examples.
Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?
The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.
Who was the most visable signer of the declaration of independence?
Thomas Jefferson
What color are the red coat's coat?
All of them.... except for whatever shade of red the coat is. That frequency of light is reflected into your eye.
Where is the origin of color?
In physics it's the frequency of the light. That's O.K. for cameras and TV's. In reality, it's a brain function - somewhere in the ocipitral lobe (toward the back of your head --- because you see color with "too few" color discriminating cells to fit any of the cute color wheel therories. Land (the poloroid guy) did some interesting work 40 years ago with two color film. As above, color is your brain's interpretation of the frequency of light. A single color is created by one frequency of light (monochromatic). White light contains all of the frequencies of visible light from infra-red (long wavelength) through ultra-violet (short wavelength). If you look at a rainbow, you see white light separated into all of the colors that make it up. This is because, when light passes through a prism, it bends, but each separate frequency will bend to a different degree. So when you see a rainbow each band of color is caused by one frequency (actually a narrow range of frequencies) of light. With light different colors may be created by combining two or more monochromatic (individual frequencies) colors. The colors in the monitor you're viewing this with are created with only Red, Green and Blue light. This is called additive coloring. Most of the colors you see, though, are created by reflected light. Red paint looks red because it absorbs all of the colors in white light except red. Since the red light is not absorbed, it is reflected to your eye and your brain interprets the color as red. Unlike when mixing light, when you mix paints, you are combing materials that absorb different wavelengths of light to create colors. This is subtractive coloring. That is why the primary colors in light (red, blue and green) are different from those in paint (red, blue and yellow).
Visable light has a higher frequency than?
Infrared light.
Which has a lower frequencey a x ray or visable light?
Visible light has lower frequency / longer wavelength than x-rays.
What wavelength does white light from the sun have?
Visable light, Infra red and uv rays.
What type of energy is visible and caused by vibrations?
visable energy is light such as sunlight, but now sure what energy is both visable and caused by vibrations
What color in the visable spectrum is bent the least?
Red bends the least. If you look at a prism with a beam of light shining through it, you will see violet is bent the most. This due to the refractive index of the glass changing the wavelength. Velocity & frequency are components of wavelength. So the refractive index is a ratio by which the speed of light is changed. I am not sure if frequency is changed.
Where do visable light waves come from?
Visible light wave sources. Light bulbs and stars are good examples.
Is white light in a visable spectrum longer than blue light?
blue light is a part of visible spectra
Is it true or false the longest wavelength of visable light is violet?
It is false.
What makes a star visable?
The light, radiated by the star is absorbed by our eyes.
The electromagnetic waves on one side of the visable band are called?
The lower frequency waves are infrared, the higher ones are ultraviolet.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.
What does frequency control in light?
Frequency controls the color of the light.
