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.

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.


In the visible spectrum which color of light has the most energy?

Violet (purple) is the highest energy color in the visible spectrum. It has a wavelength of about 400nm (4x10-8m), the lowest of all visible light.


In the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength?

No, the position of a wave in the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength and frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves with longer wavelengths to gamma rays with shorter wavelengths.


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.


What is the longest wavelength and least energy in the visible spectrum?

The longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum is at the red end (at about 750nm) the lowest is violet (450nm). For a given intensity source the energy that can be generated is equal.The answer you are looking for is 720-680nm


Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest energy?

Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.


Does the brightest color in the visible spectrum have the highest energy level?

Yes, the brightest color in the visible spectrum (violet) does have the highest energy level due to its shorter wavelength. Violet light has the highest frequency and carries more energy per photon compared to other colors in the visible spectrum.


What color has the higher energy and shorter wavelength?

Violet has the highest energy and the shortest wavelength among visible colors.


Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?

Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.


As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.


What has more energy heat or light And why?

It depends on the wavelength of light and the amount of heat. If you are comparing light from the visible part of the spectrum with infra red (i.e. heat), then visible light has more energy due to its slightly shorter wavelength. Energy is related to wavelength by the equation E=hc/λ where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and λ is wavelength.


Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than violet light. Violet light is at the end of the visible light spectrum with longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet radiation, which falls just beyond the violet end of the spectrum.
