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.

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.


Why does lower frequency visible light penetrate the atmosphere better than higher frequency light?

Lower frequency visible light, such as red light, penetrates the atmosphere better than higher frequency light because it is less likely to be scattered by atmospheric particles and gases. Higher frequency light, like blue and ultraviolet light, is more prone to Rayleigh scattering, which causes it to be redirected in various directions. This scattering effect diminishes the intensity of higher frequency light as it travels through the atmosphere, making it less effective for penetration. Consequently, lower frequency light maintains its path and intensity more effectively.


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.
