What type of wave is shorter than the shortest visible light?
Ultraviolet would be the part of the spectrum shorter than visible.
Which colour of visible light would give the best resolution in a microscope?
ultraviolet light.
What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
Electromagnetic waves just outside the violet end of the visible spectrum would be what?
If you're listing them in the order of increasing frequency, then infrared comes just before visible. If you're listing them in the order of increasing wavelength, then ultraviolet comes just before visible. If you're monitoring the energy spectrum from a distant galaxy, then nothing comes before visible, because all electromagnetic waves travel through space at the same speed.
How do you see ultraviolet waves?
Ultraviolet light is not visible. Many ultraviolet lamps also emit some visible light along with the ultraviolet, typically visible violet. Also, ultraviolet light is an ionizing radiation, and will cause some flourescent materials to emit various visible wavelengths of light.
What can happen if you can see ultraviolet light?
If human vision could detect ultraviolet light as well as the visible spectrum, ultraviolet light would appear to be just another color. Of course, because we can't see ultraviolet, and can only see three basic colors, the idea of a new color is impossible to completely grasp, since all the colors we see are based off of three primary colors. The addition of ultraviolet light to the spectrum of visible light would allow us to see more things, and some things that appear transparent would appear translucent or opaque, and make things we can already see appear more colorful.
Which color registers the highest frequencyshortest wave length?
In visible light, that would be blue light. But please note that there are also higher frequencies, not visible for the naked eye - ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays.
What did classical physics predict would happen to the light given off by an object as its temperature increased?
The Energy of the light would increase from visible light into the ultraviolet range-APEX
Would it be easier to resolve nearby objects if you detected them using ultraviolet radiation rather than visible light?
It is actually true that the shorter wavelength of UV would give you finer resolution - although for most purposes, visible light works perfectly well.
Why ultraviolet light would be more likely than visible or infrared light to cause cancer by damaging DNA molecules?
UV rays can penetrate the cell membrane
Does Visible light move at the same speed as ultraviolet light?
Yes. All wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, at least through vacuum. There are some slight wavelength-dependent differences in some material media, but nothing substantial that you would notice.
What is the moon passing through the earths shadow?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
