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.
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).
Limitations of Huygen's wave theory of light?
Huygens' wave theory of light cannot explain phenomena like polarization and interference accurately. It also fails to predict some experimental observations, such as the photoelectric effect. Additionally, the theory could not fully account for the speed of light in a vacuum.
What two experiments involving light and matter could not be explained by the wave theory of light?
In the days before quantum mechanics there was discussion whether light was a particle or wave. The problem was that neither one could explain all phenomena completely. For example, the particle theory couldn't not account for interference patterns that can be made with light, but the wave theory could not account for the photo-electric effect. In this effect a photon (a light particle) deposits energy into a metal causing the metal to eject an electron. The puzzling thing was that increasing the intensity of the light did not increase the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, only the amount of such ejected electrons. The photo-electric effect was finally tackled by Albert Einstein (for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1921), and light is now regarded as consisting of 'wave-packets' with photons have a unintuitive wave-particle duality.
What is the relationship between energy and the speed of light?
E= hc/x
Which colour of light has the longest wave length?
red Type your answer here...
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
Which colour bends the most when white light is passed through a prism?
The violet colour will be refracted the most, it has a shorter wave length and a higher frequency. The red light will be refracted the least, with its longer wave length and lower frequency.
How does blue light differ from red light?
red and blue light differ in wave length because blue lights have shorter wave length than red light and shorter wave length are good for plants germination.
What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
For a light wave what is the color of the wave directly dependent on?
length
What wavelength is orange?
Orange light typically has a wavelength ranging from about 590 to 620 nanometers.
What is the correlation between the length of a light wave and it's frequency?
The correlation between the length of a light wave and its frequency is inverse: as the length of the light wave increases, its frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: speed of light = wavelength x frequency.
Which wave length of light is the longest?
voilet
Explain the importance of how a wave length is created?
Wave length's are one of the most fundamental subjects in physics effecting sound, light and water for example. Learning how the wave length was created allows one to learn much about sound and light.
How does the length of a light wave affect the amount of energy it contains?
The energy of a light wave is inversely proportional to its length. In other words, shorter light waves have more energy than longer light waves. This relationship is described by the equation E=hc/λ, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the light wave.
Does red light have a longer wave length than blue light?
Red Light
