If you mean visible light, that is between about 380 and 780 nm, depending on the color of the light. nm means nanometer - 1 nm = 0.000 000 001 meter. In other words, the wavelength of visible light is slighty less than a micron.

In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?

Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.


Do light waves have frequency or wavelength?

They have both.


Should red light waves have a longer wavelength th violet light waves?

Yes.


List electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength?

The electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.


How do you calculate the frequency of light waves?

by dividing the speed of light with its wavelength


What has longer wavelength radio waves or visible light?

Neither is nesesarily longer a wave can go on forever. Visible light is more reflective than infared light so it will last longer. If you are talking about wavelength, infared lights wavelength is longer.


The color of light is determined by the what of the light waves?

The color of light is determined by the wavelength of the light waves. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequency light waves and colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequency light waves and colors like red and orange.


Which kind of waves are the longest Radar waves Radio waves Visible Light or Gamma Rays?

for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)


Which has longer wavelength radio v light?

Radio waves have longer wavelengths than light waves. Radio waves can have wavelengths ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers.


What are the electromagnetic waves from smallest wavelength to largest?

With longest wavelength to shortest Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible radiations, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray


Are Infared waves have a larger wavelength than Ultraviolet light?

Yes, infrared waves have a larger wavelength than ultraviolet light. Infrared waves have wavelengths longer than those of visible light, while ultraviolet light has wavelengths shorter than visible light.


Which form of visible light has the shortest wavelength?

Violet light has the shortest wavelength of all visible light.
