Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.

Does xrays have a lower frequency?

Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.


Is the frequency of blue light higher or lower than violet light?

Blue light has a lower frequency than violet light. Violet light has the highest frequency in the visible spectrum, while blue light has a slightly lower frequency than violet light but higher than green light.


Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?

The frequency of purple light is higher than yellow light. Purple light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to yellow light which has a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

they are a high frequency


Is the frequency of a red light higher than a violet light?

No, it is lower.


Does red light have a higher frequency than green light?

No, red light is lower frequency than green light.


How does frequency affect light?

The frequency of light determines its color – higher frequency light appears bluer, while lower frequency light appears redder. In addition, the frequency of light affects its energy – higher frequency light carries more energy per photon. This is why higher frequency ultraviolet light is more harmful to living organisms than lower frequency visible light.


Does green have a higher or lower freqenuency?

Green light has a moderate frequency compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. It falls between blue and yellow light in terms of frequency.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


What happens when light has higher frequency?

When light has a higher frequency, it means the wavelength is shorter and the energy of the light is higher. Higher frequency light can have more pronounced effects, such as greater potential for damaging biological tissues and the ability to excite electrons to higher energy levels. Examples of high frequency light include ultraviolet and X-rays.
