What you're really asking is whether we have a name for that band of

frequencies. Happily, yes we do. That's the part we call "ultraviolet".

Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?

Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.


Why red is red?

An object is red because it is absorbing the blue end of the visible spectrum (higher frequencies) and reflecting back the red (lower frequencies) to your eyes.


Why is red red?

An object is red because it is absorbing the blue end of the visible spectrum (higher frequencies) and reflecting back the red (lower frequencies) to your eyes.


What is related to the frequency of a visible light wave?

Its apparent color as perceived by the human visual system. Lower frequencies look redder, while higher frequencies look more bluish or violet. As frequency goes down below the "visible" part of the spectrum, the light becomes "infra-red" or "IR", while higher frequencies above the visible spectrum are called "ultra-violet" or "UV".


Which radiation is the range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than violet on the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet radiation is the range of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than violet on the visible spectrum. It has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light. Exposure to UV radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms.


Are the frequencies of ultraviolet waves slightly higher than visible light?

Ultraviolet light extends for quite a ways up the electromagnetic spectrum after visible violet ends. Its frequencies are higher. Wavelengths from 400nm to 50nm covering 4 groups of UV.


Why is red red to us?

An object is red because it is absorbing the blue end of the visible spectrum (higher frequencies) and reflecting back the red (lower frequencies) to your eyes.


How are frequency and wavelenght related to specific region of the spectrum?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies. For example, in the visible light spectrum, blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light. This relationship holds true across all regions of the spectrum.


White light consists of what?

This light consists of all the colors of the rainbow, which are in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic waves. White light consists of: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, in the order from the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light to the higher end of the spectrum.


What is the spectrum that encompasses all of the wavelengths of light?

The spectrum that encompasses all wavelengths of light is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, ranging from longer wavelengths with lower frequencies to shorter wavelengths with higher frequencies.


What happens to light waves along the visible spectrum moving from red to violet?

As light waves move from red to violet along the visible spectrum, their wavelengths decrease and their frequencies increase. Red light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, while violet light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. This shift in wavelength is perceived as a shift in color by our eyes.


Where is visible light along the EM spectrum?

Right between infrared and ultraviolet. It has higher frequencies than infrared; lower frequencies than ultraviolet.
