Ultraviolet light occurs just above the range of electromagnetc radiation that is detectable by the human eye and has a shorter wavelength than violet. This means it has a higher frequency since all light waves are presumed to travell at the same speed, whether visible to us or not.
To explain this in simple terms, if two trains are travelling at the same speed, and one has short cars and the other has long cars, the one with the short cars will pass by us more cars per minute than the one with the long cars. This is called frequency...the number of times something happens in a given time frame.

How do the wavelength and frequency of red light compare to the wavelength and frequency of blue light?
Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to blue light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which is why it appears bluer in color to the human eye.
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to its?
Frequency. f=c/l Where, f=Frequency, l=Wavelength and c=Velocity of light in free space.
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 emission wavelength equation used to calculate the specific wavelength of light emitted by a substance?
The emission wavelength equation used to calculate the specific wavelength of light emitted by a substance is c / , where represents the wavelength, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, and is the frequency of the light emitted.
Because c the speed of electromagnetic radiation is a constant the wavelength of the radiation is....?
... inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that as the frequency of radiation increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is expressed by the equation λ = c / f, where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and f is the frequency of the radiation.
How does the wavelength of light compare to it's frequency?
The wavelength of light is inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that light with a shorter wavelength will have a higher frequency, and light with a longer wavelength will have a lower frequency. In other words, as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.
How do the wavelength and frequency of red light compare to the wavelength and frequency of blue light?
Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to blue light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which is why it appears bluer in color to the human eye.
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.
What happenes to the frequency of light when its wavelength increases or decreases?
When the wavelength of light increases, the frequency decreases. Conversely, when the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases. This relationship is described by the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength.
Compare to yellow light orange light has?
... greater wavelength, lower frequency, less energy per photon.
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?
Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
You can use the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Given the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) and the frequency of the light source, divide the speed of light by the frequency to determine the wavelength of the light.
How do you find the frequency from wavelength?
To find the frequency from wavelength, you can use the formula: frequency speed of light / wavelength.
What is the formula for converting frequency of light into wavelength?
wavelength = c/frequency of light where c is the speed of light.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
How do you calculate light wavelength to frequency?
You can calculate frequency from wavelength using the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. By dividing this speed by the wavelength of light in meters, you can determine the frequency in hertz.
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
