Which color has highest wavelength?

Red has the highest wavelength among the visible colors.


Which color has the longest wavelength and shows that a star is moving away from us?

It's not that a particular color has the longest wavelength. The wavelength BECOMES longer when a star moves away from us. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue, for example.


What is the wavelength of a red star?

The wavelength of light emitted by a red star typically falls within a range of around 620 to 750 nanometers, corresponding to the red region of the visible spectrum. The exact wavelength can vary based on the star's temperature and composition.


What are 5 colors and their corresponding Frequency and Wavelength?

Here are five colors along with their corresponding frequencies and wavelengths: Red: Wavelength ~620-750 nm, Frequency ~400-480 THz. Green: Wavelength ~495-570 nm, Frequency ~526-606 THz. Blue: Wavelength ~450-495 nm, Frequency ~606-668 THz. Yellow: Wavelength ~570-590 nm, Frequency ~508-526 THz. Violet: Wavelength ~380-450 nm, Frequency ~668-789 THz. These values are approximate and can vary slightly based on different sources.


If a star has a surface temperature of 36000 K at what wavelength will it radiate the most energy?

The wavelength at which a star radiates the most energy is determined by its surface temperature, according to Wien's Law. For a star with a surface temperature of 36000 K, it will radiate the most energy at a wavelength of approximately 80 nm in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.

The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?

wavelength. This is because frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship, meaning as frequency increases, wavelength decreases. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where speed is the speed of light in a vacuum.


What is the wavelength of middle C on a piano?

wavelength = velocity/ frequency wavelength = 330/256 wavelength = 1.29 (to 3 sig fig) 1.30


How does the frequency of a wavelength changes?

The frequency of a wavelength is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength.


What is the general equation for Wavelength?

There are probably several equations that involve wavelength. One that is quite common is:speed = wavelength x frequency


Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?

No, frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a phenomenon called the wavelength-frequency relationship. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.


The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?

The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.


What part of speech is wavelength?

Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency


How do wavelength and periods relate?

Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.


What is the length of an ultraviolet wavelength compared to an x-ray wavelength?

The wavelength of the x-ray is shorter.
