Why do plants appear blue at 255 meters?

Green wavelengths are absorbed at a depth of 250 meters, leaving only blue wavelengths. This deeper penetration is what causes the oceans to appear blue!


Radio waves with wavelengths between 10cm and 1mm are called what?

No. Your cellphone, many TV stations, and the GPS satellites transmit wavelengths shorter than 1 meter. X-rays have wavelengths between 0.00000000001 and 0.00000001 meter. (1/100th of a nanometer to 10 nanometers)

What waves are emitted by an incandescent bulb?

There are seven electromagnetic waves; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves are transmitted through radios (duh) and TVs. They have wavelengths greater than 0.001 meters. Cell phones use microwaves, which have wavelengths between 0.3 and 0.001 meters. Infrared waves come from (not so sure about this one) light bulbs and have wavelengths between 0.001 meters and 700 nanometers. Visible light (don't know exactly where it comes from, sorry) have wavelengths between 700 and 400 nanometers. Ultraviolet waves cause sunburn and have wavelengths between 400 and 10 nanometers. You should know where X rays come from and they have wavelengths between 10 and 0.01 nanometers. (Sorry for not including Gamma rays, I didn't have enough information on them). You can choose two of these seven and add the information if you want.


What are the variables on a sound spectrogram and how are they measured?

A sound spectrogram measures the frequency and wavelengths of sound waves. The frequency is measured in Hertz and the wavelengths are measured in meters.


Wave length of x ray?

There is some confusion here. Wavelengths are measured in units of length, such as meters, kilometers, nanometers, etc. Frequency is measured in hertz.
