What are the colors of visible light in order?
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
Who have longer wavelengths visible light or radio waves?
The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.
Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.
Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).
What are the colors of visible light in order?
Going from short wavelength light to long wavelength light, the order goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet (ROYGBIV)
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.
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)
Who have longer wavelengths visible light or radio waves?
The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.
Is the wavelength of infrared light too short or long to be seen by humans?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Is it true the wavelength of infra-red light is too short for it to be seen?
no, the wavelength of infrared light is too long for it too be seen. visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
Which color in the visible spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The shortest wavelength of visible light for your eye is the wavelength of the lastcolor you can see on the blue end of the rainbow. It may be slightly different forsomeone else's eye.
Does blue or violet light have a long wavelength?
No. Some are longer trhan others, but they are all very short. Light visible to the human eye has wavelengths ranging from a little more than 100 micrometers (infrared) to less than 1 nanometers (ultraviolet). In reference to visible light, infrared is referred to as long wavelength and ultraviolet as short wavelength light. I can't remember the units, but the human visible area is from about 400 (deep blue) to 700 (red), so a rather more restricted range than implied above. All those wavelengths are indeed very short.
Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
Which light arrives first infrared or visible light?
All electromagnetic waves have the same speed, as long as they're traveling through the same stuff, regardless of their wavelength.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
