What kind of light has a wavelength shorter than green light is it red light raido waves X-rays or infrared waves?

In th visible spectrum blue and violet light are shorter than green. x-rays are way shorter than green.


How does Ultraviolet light work?

UV light is the same as any other kind of light or radiation along the spectrum from radioactive waves to radio waves. The difference between them is their wavelength and fequency. The longer the wavelength, the less the frequency. UV light is high-frequency short-wavelength light, just a bit more high-frequency than the highest-frequency visible light, which is violet. How does light work? Well, even physicists aren't quite sure.


What kind of energy produces light?

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, and depending on the wavelength specified, various types of energy from radio waves to gamma rays can be produced, gamma rays being of the highest energy and the shortest wavelength.


The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?

Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM


What is the frequency of green light with a wavelength of 532nm?

Preliminary note: People (including physicists) often describe light and other EM radiation by its wavelength. It's important to note that this is meant to refer to its wavelength in a vacuum. Because the speed of light is lower in any other medium (i.e., in any kind of "stuff") the wavelength is reduced. This effect in miniscule in air, but quite substantial in other things like glass or water. It is frequency that remains fixed as light goes from one medium to another, not wavelength. So, the answer below is to the question "What is the frequency of green light with a vacuum wavelength of 532nm?"Electromagnetic frequency, f, is equal to the speed of light, c, divided by wavelength, l, or f = c/l.In this case, f = (299,792,458 m/s)/(532 nm) = 564 THz, or 564 X 1012 Hz, or 564 X 1012 s-1, where m is meters, s is seconds, nm is nanometers = 10-9 m, Hz is Hertz = s-1, and THz is terahertz = 1012 Hz.

Green


Why are the hottest stars blue?

The hotter an object is the shorter the wavelength of light it emits as a shorter wavelength means more concentrated energy. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than most other colors, so the hottest stars are blue.


What is the wavelength for the color gray?

Color is created when an object absorbs all kinds of light except one. In other words, there are basically seven different kinds of light. These are: red light, orange light, yellow light, green light, blue light, indigo light, and violet or purple light. The leaves on a tree appear green because they absorb red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple light, but the leaves do not absorb green light. Instead, it reflects this light back to your eyes. Therefore, you see the color green. This is the simple definition of how all color works.How does the color black get created then? Black is formed when every kind of light is absorbed. White is formed when every kind of light is reflected. Gray is created when every kind of light is half-absorbed and half-reflected at the same time.Due to the fact it accepts every kind of light, scientists do not consider it to be a color. Since it is not a color, it does not have a wavelength.


X-rays are what kind of energy?

An X-ray is a highly energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. It is like visible light, only of higher frequency (shorter wavelength).
