wavelenth- The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

∙ 14y ago
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as peak to peak or trough to trough. It is often used to describe the length of electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, meaning shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies.

Wavelength frequency amplitude and what are the four characteristics of waves that can change?
The four characteristics of waves that can change are wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. These changes can be influenced by the medium through which the wave is traveling, such as air, water, or a solid material.
What is frequency of a wavelengh?
Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time (usually per second). It is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave, meaning that waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies.
What is the frequency in MHz of a beam of blue light whose wavelengh is 4000 angstroms?
To find the frequency of the blue light, we need to use the formula: frequency (f) = speed of light (c) / wavelength (λ). The speed of light is approximately 3.0 x 10^8 meters per second. Converting the wavelength from angstroms to meters (1 angstrom = 1 x 10^-10 meters), we get 4000 angstroms = 4 x 10^-7 meters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get f = (3 x 10^8) / (4 x 10^-7) = 7.5 x 10^14 Hz = 750 THz, which is equivalent to 750,000 GHz.
What happens to light rays when they pass through a prism?
When light rays pass through a prism, they are refracted or bent at different angles based on their wavelengths. This causes the white light to separate into its component colors, creating a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow.
Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?
Firstly, diffraction refers to what happens to a range of wavelengths. It means the different wavelengths are spread out, producing a spectrum under the right circumstances. Secondly, the 'obstacle' has to be transparent, so the waves pass from one medium to another. More properly, light hits the boundary between two transparent media (e.g. air and glass), and it is refracted(bent) as it enters the glass block. Shorter wavelengths are refracted more, so the beam is spread out, or diffracted. The easy way to remember this is 'blue bends best'.
What is the difference between cosmic and terrestial radiation?
Basicly the wavelengh
What does wavelengh have to do with fire?
the wavelength will tell you the temperature chemically and change the colour physically
What is the wavelengh of radio waves?
We use radio waves for various purposes with wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 5 kilometers.
How do you get a wavelengh?
Wavelength is the distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next wave so you just measure it I guess.
What is the only animal that can see light of wavelengh between 100 and 300 nanometers and also between 1000 and 100000 nanometers?
Goldfish
What is frequency of a wavelengh?
Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time (usually per second). It is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave, meaning that waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies.
What is the longest wavelengh in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum is radio waves. They have wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to over 100 kilometers.
What wavelength is BBC Radio 2 in France?
BBC Radio 4 Longwave usually covers the greater parts of France, Germany, and Holland. Go to 198kHz.
Which wavelength of visible light bends the most when refracted by a prism?
When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.Dhirender Sharma
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelengh?
Electromagnetic radiation at low audio frequencies have the longest wavelengths. There are several radio transmitters operating below 10kHz. This is called the VLF or the ELF radio range, and is used for communicating with submarines. The penetration of radio waves into sea water is a function of wavelength.
Wavelength frequency amplitude and what are the four characteristics of waves that can change?
The four characteristics of waves that can change are wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. These changes can be influenced by the medium through which the wave is traveling, such as air, water, or a solid material.
When im tired things seem to go fast this doesn't happen to anyone else i no except my mum can anyone tell me what it is?
I doubt that you're actually 'ill' (if that's what you're concerned about by the symptoms) - it's just that your mother is on a similar wavelengh and is better able to understand you that the other people that you've asked. Don't worry, losing track of time when tired happens to many people.
