What color of light will have the smallest wavelength?

The color with the smallest (or as scientist term it, the shortest) wavelength is the color violet, also known as purple.


What is the smallest quantum of energy for a wavelength of light?

The smallest quantum of energy is E=hc/w = 2E-25/w where w is the wavelength.


What is the smallest infrared radiation wavelength?

the smallest infrared radiation wavelength is ranging from 0.75-1.3micrometre


What is the smallest particle visible under light microscope?

The smallest particle that can be seen with a light microscope is about 0. 2 microns. If an object is smaller than that, the light's wavelength cannot traverse it causing it to fall out of the visible spectrum.


Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?

No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.


Which has more energy green light or yellow light?

Green light. If you use the abbreviation ROY G. Biv ( red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you will always know that the red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to one another. So if the wavelength is large, frequency is small, and when wavelength is small, frequency is large. Green light has a smaller wavelength than yellow. Likewise it has a higher frequency than yellow does. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.


Which wavelength must the light contain and the object reflect to appear white?

Refer to the EM spectrum to find exact answer about this question. Usually wavelengths are listed at bottom and frequency on top of the spectrum. Gamma rays have the smallest wavelength.
