Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?

Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.


Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?

No, ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Visible light falls within the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 400 nanometers.


How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?

It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?

The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.

What electromagnetic wave can be seen by humans?

Visible light is the electromagnetic wave that can be seen by humans. It encompasses the colors of the rainbow ranging from violet (shorter wavelength) to red (longer wavelength). Beyond the visible light spectrum are ultraviolet and infrared rays that are not visible to the human eye.

Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?

Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.

Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?

Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.


Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?

Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.


Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?

Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What do the different colors of visable light represent?

Different colors of visible light represent different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Visible light ranges from violet (shorter wavelength) to red (longer wavelength), with each color corresponding to a specific wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. Each color has a unique energy level and frequency, which determines its appearance to the human eye.


Wavelength of electrons are what percent visible in the white light?

The wavelength of electrons is about 10,000 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light. This means that electrons are not visible in white light as their wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum.
