How can the wave length of a wave be found?

By measuring the distance between the wave peaks!!


How does blue light differ from red light?

red and blue light differ in wave length because blue lights have shorter wave length than red light and shorter wave length are good for plants germination.


What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?

Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length


For a light wave what is the color of the wave directly dependent on?

length


In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?

Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.

What are the number of complete wave length per unit of times is called?

That's the "frequency" of the wave.


What is the frequency of a blue light with a wave length of 469 nanometers?

Frequency is in cycles per unit time Wavelength is in length per cycle To convert between the two you need the speed of the wave - which for light is the speed of light - which is given in length per unit time Frequency = Speed of light/Wavelength For a wavelength of 469 nanometers Frequency is 639 Terahertz (THz) or 639,000 Gigahertz (GHz) ... rounded to 3 significant digits since the wavelength is only given to 3 significant digits


How does the length of a light wave affect the amount of energy it contains?

YES. The amount of energy of any wave varies with the wave length of the wave. The longer the wavelength the lower the frequency of the wave,


Explain the importance of how a wave length is created?

Wave length's are one of the most fundamental subjects in physics effecting sound, light and water for example. Learning how the wave length was created allows one to learn much about sound and light.
