The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.

For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):

* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.

* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.

Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?

Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed. The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases from radio waves to gamma rays, with yellow light falling in the visible light spectrum.


Do radio waves visible light and x-rays have same frequency in vacuum?

No. The radio waves has got the lowest frequency, light waves has got in between frequency and the X-rays has got the highest frequency of the three types of waves.No.


Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?

From the items on that list, infrared light has the lowest frequency, and X-rays have the highest.


Does visible light waves have pitch?

no You might say that, even though nobody else ever does. A change in the frequency of sound is perceived as a different 'pitch'. A change in the frequency of light is perceived as a different 'color'. In each case, even a small change in frequency is easily perceptible to the human sensory system. Who cares what word you use to describe it !


How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?

Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.

What happens to energy when the frequency of light waves increase?

When the frequency of light waves increases, the energy of the light also increases. This is because energy and frequency are directly proportional in electromagnetic waves, such as light. Therefore, higher frequency light waves carry more energy than lower frequency light waves.


What color's light waves have the highest frequency?

Violet light waves have the highest frequency among the visible light spectrum.


Light waves move at a higher frequency than?

Visible light has higher frequency than that of infra red radiations. The order of electro magnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency are as follows: Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, ROY G BIV (visible region), ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma ray.


Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?

Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.


Do light waves carry energy?

Light waves do carry energy, and when oscillated light can carry information.


In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?

Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.


Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?

Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed. The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases from radio waves to gamma rays, with yellow light falling in the visible light spectrum.


Is it true or false that the greater the frequency of the wave in a particular medium the greater the wavelenght of the wave.?

False. The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequency waves have longer wavelengths.


What happens to the energy of light waves if frequency increases?

If the frequency of light waves increases, the energy of the waves also increases. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, according to the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is the Planck constant, and f is frequency. Therefore, higher frequency light waves have higher energy content.


What is the relationship between sound, light, and frequency?

Sound, light, and frequency are all forms of waves that can be measured in terms of frequency. Sound waves are vibrations in the air that we hear, while light waves are electromagnetic radiation that we see. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time, and it determines the pitch of sound and the color of light. Sound and light waves can interact with each other, such as in the phenomenon of sound waves creating light in a process called sonoluminescence.


Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?

they are a high frequency


How is frequency related to color?

Frequency is directly related to color in terms of light waves. Higher frequency waves appear as colors on the violet end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves appear as colors on the red end of the spectrum. The frequency of light waves determines the specific color that is perceived by our eyes.
