Does the frequency of the colors of light increase from red to violet?

yes, because the violet has the highest frequency than red


How does the frequency affect the color of light?

The higher the frequency the more towards the "bluer" end of the spectrum one moves. So violet is higher frequency than green which in turn is greater than red.

Is red light higher in frequency than violet light?

no


What travels more slowly in glass red light or violet?

violet because it has a higher frequency than red light


Is the frequency of a red light higher than a violet light?

No, it is lower.


When red light is compared with violet light what happens?

Violet light has a higher frequency than red light by roughly a factor of 2.


Does UV radiation have more energy than violet light?

Violet light: 380-450 nm Red light: 620-750 nm nm=nanometer=10-9 meter


How would the wavelength and frequency of a red light compare to the wavelengths and frequencies of green and violet lights?

-- Red light has the lowest frequency of those three. -- Green light has lower frequency than violet light has. -- The wavelength of all light is inversely proportional to its frequency.


Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack


Which has more energy a photon of red light or photon of violet light?

The violet light has more energy than the red light. Red light is lower on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it has a lower frequency (or longer wavelength). You'll recall the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, etc., and these are the colors going up the frequency spectrum. Photons higher on the spectrum are higher in frequency and energy.
