Can a nanometer measure a wavelength?

Yes, a nanometer can be used to measure wavelengths of light. For example, visible light has wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers. By using nanometers, scientists can accurately measure and describe the size of light waves.


What are the two way to measure wavelengths?

Wavelengths can be measured in meters (m) or nanometers (nm). Meters are commonly used for longer wavelengths, while nanometers are used for shorter wavelengths, particularly in the visible light spectrum.


Does ultraviolet have shoter wavelengths?

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light. UV light has wavelengths between 10 nanometers and 400 nanometers, while visible light has wavelengths between 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers.


What is the abbreviation for the units of measure of wavelengths of light?

The abbreviation for the units of measure of wavelengths of light is "nm" which stands for nanometers.


Does ultraviolet light have long or short wavelengths?

The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.


What has wavelengths between 380 and 750 nanometers?

Visible light


What units is wavelength measured in usually?

Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc


Visible light contains various wave lengths what are the wavelengths in nanometers?

Visible light wavelengths range from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. This corresponds to violet light at the shortest wavelengths and red light at the longest wavelengths in the visible spectrum.


What is the wavelength of violet light in nanometers?

The wavelength of violet light ranges from approximately 380 to 450 nanometers, with the shorter wavelengths corresponding to deeper shades of violet.


What is the human vision wavelengths range?

Human vision is sensitive to wavelengths of light ranging from approximately 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red). This range of visible light is known as the visible spectrum. Beyond these wavelengths, humans cannot perceive light directly.


Wavelengths of violet light compared to wavelengths of ultraviolet light?

Violet light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Violet light falls in the range of approximately 380-450 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 380 nanometers. Ultraviolet light is higher in energy and can be harmful to human skin and eyes, while violet light is visible light that we can perceive.


Does red or violet have a longer wavelength?

Red light has a longer wavelength than violet light. Red light has wavelengths around 620-750 nanometers, while violet light has wavelengths around 380-450 nanometers.
