What else can I help you with?
Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
What determines the color of a electromagnetic light wave?
The color of an electromagnetic light wave is determined by its wavelength. Shorter wavelengths correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
The color of light is determined by its?
Wavelength, or alternatively its frequency.
What is the relationship between the wavelength of a photon and its perceived color?
The relationship between the wavelength of a photon and its perceived color is that shorter wavelengths correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum. This is known as the visible light spectrum, where different wavelengths of light are perceived as different colors by the human eye.
Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?
The colors in the electromagnetic spectrum are put in that order based on their wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and are seen as violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies and are seen as red. This progression follows the visible light spectrum from shortest to longest wavelengths.
How are frequency and wavelength related for a specific region of thespectrum?
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related in the electromagnetic spectrum. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. For a specific region of the spectrum, like visible light, higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths.
What is the relationship between the frequencies of an electromagnetic wave and its wavelength decreases?
As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in the electromagnetic spectrum. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths.
What property of light determines its color?
The wavelength of light determines its color. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible light spectrum.
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have wavelengths shorter than X-rays and are produced by high-energy processes such as nuclear reactions and supernovae explosions.
What did you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?
Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, so violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than red light. In the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
What spectrum arranges light by wavelengths?
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges light by wavelengths. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays with the shortest wavelengths to radio waves with the longest wavelengths. Each type of light within the spectrum has its own unique wavelength and properties.
Which color on the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Violet light has the shortest wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum.
