How does the wavelength of maximum absorbance relate to the color of a substance?
The wavelength of maximum absorbence relates to the color, because the only color that is not absorbed will be the color of the item. For example, plants are green because they absorb red and blue light, and reflect green light.
Red light and blue light are different colors because the light that makes them up has different?
wavelengths. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, with red light having a wavelength around 620-750 nanometers and blue light around 450-495 nanometers. This difference in wavelength is what gives them their distinct colors.
In visible light color is an indication of?
In visible light, color is an indication of the wavelength of light that is being reflected or emitted by an object. Different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.
What has a longer wavelength red or green?
Red light has the longest wavelength that's visible to the eye.Violet light, just past blue in the rainbow, has the shortest wavelengththat's visible to the eye. It's roughly half the size of a wave of red light.
Why red color has maximum wavelength?
This is a bit of a circular answer: Because the "red" color receptors in the human eye respond to the longer wavelengths of visible light more intensely than the "green" or "blue" color receptors do.
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the Visible light with the shortest wavelength a red light?
No, red light has the longest wavelength within the visible light spectrum.
Is the wavelength of infra-red light to short to be seen?
Visible light has the spectrum VIBGYOR. Violet is at one extreme having highest frequency and red is at the other end having least frequency. Less frequency means having longest wavelength, since wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As we go beyond violet then it is named as ultraviolet. Same way as we go beyond red, then it known as infra red. So its wavelength has to be greater than that of red. Hence longer wavelength for IR radiations. IR is what we call 'thermal' radiation, in other words, 'heat'.
Which of the colors of light has the longest wavelength?
The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
What is the difference between blue light and green light?
In the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum VIBGYOR, violet having highest frequency is at one extreme and red having the lowest frequency goes to other extreme. So violet with shortest wavelength and red with the longest.
